Leger’s full collection of European travel by rail tours for 2026 and some 2027 departures, plus a collection of scenic rail experience excursions. Clients meet their tour manager where the
holidays begin, at London’s St Pancras Eurostar terminal, with onward connections made via Europe’s network of high-speed trains. Among the new tours is a four-day Beautiful Bruges
& Charming Ghent tour, from £799; Gardens & Châteaux of the Loire Valley by Rail, a five-day holiday from £995; and Beautiful Provence & the Camargue, an eight-day tour from £1,995, based in Avignon with coach excursions across the region.
Leger Holidays has expanded its solo rail
programme for 2026 with three new tours. Two Italian itineraries join the Solo collection: San Remo, Portofino & the Italian Riviera, and Discover Tuscany, Florence & Pisa by Rail. Paris also features in the brochure with a Monet’s
Garden & Versailles weekend – a new addition to the collection for solo travellers. As well as travelling by rail, some itineraries also
feature scenic rail experiences, such as the Red Train of the Pyrenees, the Ajaccio railway in Corsica, and the Mont Blanc Express and Glacier Express in Switzerland. Also new is an Italian Lakes Walking Holiday,
combining rail travel to Italy with guided daily walking tours; and a rail-and-cruise range, travelling by rail to join Serenade for cruises on the Danube, Dutch waterways, Rhine or Moselle.
