Top five Great Train Journeys for 2019

Rail Plus has announced their top five Great Train Journeys for 2019, which includes brand new itineraries in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and South America. 

In New Zealand, the five-hour Coastal Pacific is back in the Great Train Journeys portfolio after a two-year suspension due to earthquake damages. A daily service is running until 28 April 2019 between Christchurch and Picton via Kaikoura, travellers can then also easily connect to the TranzAlpine in Christchurch and the Northern Explorer via the Interislander service. Passengers will be wowed by the rugged Kaikōura Coastline, Canterbury Plains, the marine wildlife thriving in the New Zealand waters and the country’s bush-clad mountains.

 

In South America, Tren Crucero is now available for booking. Travelling between the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Quito and Guayaquil, highlights on the 4D/4N journey include the wild Pacific Coast, traversing the hair-raising but thoroughly scenic Devil’s Nose Pass, and marvelling at the Avenue of the Volcanoes in the Ecuadorian Andes. Departures are Tuesday from Quito and Saturdays from Guayaquil.
