Summer in Slovakia

Thursday 29th June to Monday 10th July 2017

Discover the natural beauty, cultural heritage and fascinating railways of Slovakia on this exceptional summer ‘land cruise’. Massive main line steam locomotives, unique rack and pinion tank engines, Swiss-style funiculars, idyllic forest railways and a firstever, loco-hauled excursion on the freight-only broad gauge line are all part of this one-off programme. You’ll travel around Slovakia on a private main line train formed of a traditional dining car, comfortable compartment coaches and a presidential saloon. You’ll be hauled by heritage traction throughout, including the Slovak flagship steam locomotive No. 498.104 ‘Albatros’. Staying at elegant resort hotels you’ll also experience the delightful cities of Bratislava and Kosice. With such a rich variety of experiences on offer, you’ll soon understand why Slovakia is such an endearing destination.
