Overview

Discover the Magic of Italy by Rail and Sea

Embark on a unique 7-night adventure to three of Italy’s most alluring destinations: Rome, Sorrento, and Sicily. Travelling primarily by train—featuring an extraordinary overnight sleeper service from Sorrento to Sicily—you’ll witness the singular spectacle of your carriage boarding a ferry to cross the Strait of Messina.

 

Rome

Begin in the Eternal City, where layers of history unfold at every turn. Gaze upon the grand Colosseum, stroll through ancient forums, and marvel at ornate basilicas. Enjoy traditional Roman cuisine in lively trattorias, and meander along cobblestone streets filled with timeless charm.

 

Sorrento

Next, journey south to the clifftop town of Sorrento, perched above the shimmering blue waters of the Mediterranean. Savour fresh seafood and the region’s famed limoncello, or take a short trip to Pompeii’s haunting ruins or Capri’s glamorous shores. In the evenings, unwind amid Sorrento’s laid-back ambience, soaking up the gentle coastal breeze.

 

Overnight Sleeper Train & Ferry Crossing

Depart Sorrento in style aboard a comfortable overnight sleeper train bound for Sicily. Drift off to the lull of the rails, then awaken to the remarkable sight of your train being guided onto a ferry to cross the Strait of Messina. Step out on deck to breathe in the sea air and witness the dazzling coastline as you glide towards Sicily—a once-in-a-lifetime rail-and-sea experience.

 

Sicily

Arrive refreshed in Sicily, an island of breathtaking beauty and cultural riches. Explore Palermo’s vibrant markets, admire the dramatic landscapes around Mount Etna, or discover Taormina’s Greco-Roman heritage.
