The collaboration with International Rail forms an integral part of Explore Worldwide’s ongoing missioning to make sustainable travel more accessible for all travellers
As passenger train travel is marking its 200th anniversary this year, rail tourism continues to grow in demand as travellers are actively seeking ways to make more sustainable choices during their holidays.
Hannah Methven, sustainability specialist at Explore Worldwide, said customers love to travel by rail “not just as a way to lower their carbon footprint, but as an opportunity to slow down and take in the scenery as it unfolds outside their window.”
Travellers who book a European package with Explore Worldwide can now request a tailored quote from International Rail, which covers more than 66,000 routes across the continent. The service may include help with planning the best route for each customer, linking journeys and providing rail passes for those seeking a longer trip.
Currently, more than three dozen tours can be accessed by rail through the partnership, including the 11-day ‘Highlights of Albania’ itinerary from £1,349 and the eight-day ‘Trekking in Spain’ tour from £982.
