Arena Rail Holidays predicts busy 2019 season following launch of new programme

Arena Rail Holidays reports that it continues to go from strength to strength with the launch of its latest brochure and a packed schedule of fully-escorted European holidays by rail for 2019.

The programme includes three new summer itineraries showcasing mountain scenery, historic railways, capital cities and a chance to cruise the Danube, alongside new festive breaks to some of Europe's finest Christmas markets and snowy landscapes.

Also included in the new programme is a chance to book early for a trip to the Austrian Alps and the Oberammergau Passion Play - a once-in-a-decade spectacle that has been running for 400 years.

Tim Fleming, the company's sales and business development manager, said: "In response to feedback from clients and agents, we're delighted to have expanded our programme for next year to offer an exciting mix of short breaks, resort-based itineraries, multi-centre trips and more tour and cruise combinations. We are really grateful to all our agent partners for their ongoing support and are very pleased to have welcomed more on board in recent weeks. We are looking forward to a busy year ahead and will be announcing in due course details of opportunities for agents to sample our product first hand."

New tours for next year include a six-day Alpine Rail Discovery through Austria, Switzerland, France and Germany that explores alpine vistas and historic cities. With five nights? accommodation in the medieval city of Feldkirch, Austria, the itinerary features trips to the surrounding towns, journeys through spectacular Swiss scenery, visits to Liechtenstein and fairy-tale castles in Germany. There are also opportunities to sample local cheeses and liquors, plus excursions on the Appenzell Railway, the famous Rhaetic Railway and the W?lderb?hnle Train. The tour departs in May and June 2019 and costs from ?1,049 per person.

Alternatively, an 11-day Prague, Budapest & Danube River Cruise offers the chance to get to the heart of two of Europe?s grand imperial capitals, before taking to the Danube and setting sail to two further capitals. Guests will visit ?the Pearl of the Danube', Budapest, and the ?City of a Hundred Spires?, Prague, then travel on the four-star MS Serenity on a five-night river cruise which visits two more capitals - Bratislava and Vienna. The tour departs on June 16, 2019 and costs from ?1,895 per person.

Prices are based on two adults sharing accommodation in three- and four-star hotels throughout, including daily breakfast, return travel from London St Pancras by Eurostar; onward rail connections; excursions and the services of a tour manager/director throughout.
