Journeys by train & boat

Multi-destination holidays by rail & boat

Our self-guided holidays by train or train and boat are the perfect way to discover a region up close. Enjoy thrilling rides on spectacular Alpine railways, or cruise the mirror-like waters of the Norwegian fjords. We organise the travel and provide detailed documentation, leaving you free to explore. And when the time comes to move on to the next charming location, you can simply sit back and watch the beautiful scenery slide past your window.

These flexible Journeys follow much the same format as our other holidays, allowing you plenty of time to ‘get under the skin’ of each place you visit, meeting local people, and becoming familiar with local customs along the way.

What is an Inntravel Journey?

"It's discovery at your own pace – the chance to visit, explore, and really get to know a selection of fascinating destinations. It’s also the space in-between… how you travel from place to place and what you see along the way. Some connecting journeys are highlights in their own right – think iconic railways, fjord cruises, and scenic drives – others give you the opportunity to catch your breath before the next adventure."
