Travelmarvel expands Great Rail Journeys portfolio with new offerings in India and Switzerland
Edited by Travel Weekly


    Travelmarvel has expanded its Great Rail Journeys portfolio, with the introduction of two new itineraries, one in India and one in Switzerland, now offering an even wider choice of destinations across Europe, the USA and Asia.

    The new 2024 Great Rail Journeys program offers a choice of 19 itineraries, made possible through an exclusive partnership with award-winning UK-based rail travel company Great Rail Journeys.

    The program is designed to capture the golden era of rail travel, when the train was more than just the mode of transport but the highlight itself.

    “With premium accommodation, authentic meals and a range of activities included, our rail journeys offer the best way to travel through the regions,” head of product (Europe), Travelmarvel, Sarah Latimore, said.

    “Each departure is accompanied throughout by a dedicated Tour Escort who handles all elements of the tour.

    “Also included in every journey is premium centrally-located accommodation, airport transfers, porterage, many meals, sightseeing and tipping.”

    Travelmarvel is featuring many of the world’s most iconic trains and railways in its program: from the Glacier Express in Switzerland; to the high-speed bullet train in Japan.

    In India, travel on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway, one of the world’s steepest rack and pinion rail systems and in Scotland board the West Highland Line, whose Jacobite Steam Train starred as the Hogwarts Express in the famous Harry Potter films.
