The Re:wind trend is redefining luxury travel by merging scenic train journeys with ocean or river cruises, creating immersive, and diverse travel experiences. This blend allows travellers to explore vast landscapes by train before embarking on a serene cruise through coastal or inland waterways, combining the best of rail, river and sea travel. Imagine crossing Europe’s countryside by rail, then setting sail on the Rhine or Danube rivers, or travelling across Canada’s Rocky Mountains by train before cruising along Alaska’s pristine coastline. This approach eliminates the stress of airport layovers, offering a seamless, scenic, and eco-friendlier alternative. Popular with travellers seeking immersive, culturally rich experiences, rail and sail provides a unique opportunity to visit lesser-known destinations, enjoy breathtaking views, and embrace a slower, more meaningful way to travel.
