Dear Repta Member

Although there is still much of summer left to enjoy, with less than 5 months remaining until the end of the year, it is time to start thinking about your plans for the festive season.

Why not begin your celebrations early and join us on a rail tour to some of Europe’s most famous Christmas Markets? This year we are offering a fabulous choice of 21 different Christmas Markets tours, taking in destinations such as Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland and the UK. All of our short breaks give you the opportunity to get into the festive spirit as you enjoy included excursions as well as discover the colourful Christmas Markets at your own pace. Our range of Christmas Markets tours even includes a choice of three Christmas Markets cruises, plus a selection of dedicated tours for single travellers.

Perhaps this year the idea of getting away from it all at Christmas or New Year is appealing. Choose one of our wonderful festive breaks by train and enjoy Christmas or New Year in a different setting, embarking on exciting excursions and scenic rail journeys with new-found friends. With a wide range of tours from the Canadian Rockies, Austrian Tyrol and the Swiss Alps to celebrations closer to home in Yorkshire, Stratford and Inverness, we are sure to have a Christmas or New Year break for you.

Our festive holidays are selling out quickly so book early to avoid disappointment.
