Why “sail and rail” is the new way to travel
It’s often said there are two types of travellers. Those who like to explore the ocean on a cruise, and those who prefer to see the interior of a country aboard a train.
Both options seem equally as appealing, and many tourism operators are cottoning on to this with “sail and rail” tour options that offer the best of both worlds.
Rail Plus Commercial Director Ingrid Kocijan says there’s been a huge upsurge in travellers booking rail passes to complement their cruise itineraries.
“Convenience, spectacular scenery, value for money and high-quality on-board services are usually top contributing factors for travellers when it comes to deciding which rail journeys or passes to book,” she says.
