Rail vacation supplier Vacations by Rail is showcasing the travel experiences it expects to be some of the most popular this year for retired travelers.
The highlighted journeys feature beautiful mountain vistas, delightful rivers and plenty of time to explore and savor the destinations visited.
One such journey is the seven-day Canadian Rockies Featuring Banff & Lake Louise. This rail journey includes two days in Vancouver ahead of a two-day Rocky Mountaineer trip, with an overnight stay at a hotel in between. Travelers will discover the beauty of Lake Louise, Banff and Calgary.
Nature lovers will love the Canadian Rockies & Rocky Mountaineer itinerary, which begins with a day in Vancouver before heading into the Rockies, visiting Kamloops and Jasper. Travelers will stop at the Columbia Icefield to explore Athabasca Glacier before ending in Banff.
The travel experiences aren’t just in North America, though. Retirees will love the Glacier Express and The Majestic Rhine Cruise, a combined cruise and train journey featuring stunning castles, alpine views and much more.
Vacations by Rail also offers The Romantic Rhine Cruise, an escorted trip down the Rhine to France, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
Lastly, but certainly not least, older travelers will enjoy an opportunity to sail the Danube on The Beautiful Blue Danube, visiting four countries and three glittering capital cities. As an added bonus for ease, the trip begins and ends in Munich.
