ROUTE

Switzerland Scenic Rail Escape

Switzerland's mountain scenery is best seen from a train window, and this short break is built around exactly that. You'll split your time between Lucerne, with its wooden bridges and lakeside old town, and Interlaken, wedged between two lakes and framed by the Jungfrau massif — and in between, you'll ride one of the country's legendary scenic routes, the Glacier Express or Bernina Express, as it winds through valleys, over viaducts and past glaciers most visitors only see in photographs. Three nights, two classic Swiss towns, and one unforgettable ride.

What UK guests say.

★★★★★

The cruise leg made the whole trip. Everything was arranged for us between Cairo and the ship, no stress at any handover.

Sarah M. · Manchester, verified booking
★★★★★

Booked the Dahabiya tier for our anniversary. The balcony cabin on the Nile was worth the upgrade on its own.

David & Priya K. · Leeds, verified booking
★★★★★

Good value against the big operators. Wish we'd added the Abu Simbel extra in advance rather than on the day.
