Luxury Stays

With luxury rail holidays, it's about the journey, not the destination – and our advisors’ expert recommendations will have you slowing down and savouring the ride.

Luxury Rail Journeys

Anchored by the sinuous flow of the Thames, England unfolds like a richly illuminated manuscript. Start in London, where centuries collide magnificently – one moment you're admiring Baroque masterpieces at St. Paul's Cathedral, the next sipping champagne in The Shard's glass apex at dusk.

England’s charm extends beyond London: wander York’s medieval lanes, unwind in Bath’s Georgian grace, explore wisteria-draped Cotswold cottages, and soak in Oxford’s scholarly beauty. We suggest capping it off with Michelin-starred cuisine or dine in a historic setting where the ambience rivals the menu.

Nature has sculpted England into a narrative of diverse landscapes, from the Lake District’s poetic fells that inspired Wordsworth himself to the Jurassic Coast’s ancient cliffs. For a refined escape, visit a private estate for afternoon tea in secluded gardens&nbsp;that&nbsp;transform simple moments into splendour.

May through September offers milder temperatures and longer daylight hours, perfect for exploring.

Best time to visit Ireland

From rolling pastures and misty castles to locals spinning tales wilder than the Atlantic, Ireland is pure magic.

Ireland highlights

24+ hours to Dublin with connections, departing Sydney.

Australian passport holders can visit the Republic of Ireland visa-free for up to 90 days.

The Republic of Ireland’s official currency is the Euro (EUR).

In Dublin, Georgian charm blends with literary legacy. Stroll cobbled streets once walked by Yeats and Joyce, admire the Book of Kells at Trinity College, then tour the Guinness Storehouse or Jameson Distillery—before unwinding in the elegance of a storied historic hotel.

Ireland’s rich past echoes across the land, from Tipperary’s Rock of Cashel to Cork’s Blarney Castle, where the famous Stone promises the gift of eloquence. Soak up traditional music in Galway's lively streets, try archery in castle gardens, or forage with a chef for traditional Irish ingredients.

Along Ireland's wild Atlantic coast, world-class surfing breaks crash against dramatic shores, while Clare's jaw-dropping Cliffs of Moher provide heart-stopping backdrops for coastal walks. Our advisors can arrange private helicopter tours over the sublime Ring of Kerry, where emerald cliffs meet the roaring sea.

Visit May to Sep for more hours of daylight – perfect for sightseeing, festivals, hiking, and photography.

Best time to visit Scotland

Hit the road for Highland adventures or hop on a train for stunning city-to-city scenery.

Scotland highlights

24+ hours to Edinburgh (with a stopover), departing Sydney.

Scotland’s official currency is the British Pound Sterling.

Set on the northern edge of Great Britain, Scotland is a country that wears its wildness openly. Mist clings to glens at dawn as the Highlands roll in purple waves of heather, giving way to mirror-still lochs, ancient woodlands and windswept moorlands that seem to exist outside of time.

Scotland draws you into these breathtaking landscapes. Retreat to stately manor homes, taste rare whiskies in remote distilleries, spot red deer against mountain ridges and puffins above churning seas. Our advisors can curate bespoke experiences, including helicopter tours over the Isle of Skye.

This is the homeland of literary giants: J.M. Barrie, who gave us Peter Pan, and Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes. History lives on in the haunting sound of bagpipes echoing through cobblestoned streets and crumbling castles like Edinburgh Castle, perched above the medieval Royal Mile.
