Railbookers reveals 'ultimate bucket-list' round-the-world trip

Around the World by Rail is described by the operator as the “ultimate bucket-list adventure”, with weekly departures.

Starting in London, the trip combines city break destinations with cultural hotspots, heritage rail routes and off-the-beaten-track adventures.

The trip is completely customisable, allowing agents to tailor bookings for clients.

In total, the journey includes 42 nights’ hotel accommodation, one night on a ferry, five nights’ overnight train, three nights onboard the Indian Pacific, and three nights onboard Amtrak.

“Around the World by Rail demonstrates the ever-increasing breadth of destinations covered by Railbookers and the huge amount of choice customers have when booking independent rail holidays with us,” said managing director Peter Traynor.

Trip highlights include a night in a traditional yurt on Mongolia’s open plains, visiting the Great Wall of China and sightseeing tours of the Grand Canyon.
