Are there departure dates for July 2027?

Yes, we have a July 17th-25th, 2027 (guaranteed departure) or a July 10th-18th departure (not yet guaranteed). The not yet guaranteed departure means this date has not yet met it's minimum number of deposited travelers to be guaranteed to operate. It is still so early that this could certainly change in future, but we usually encourage guests to book on the "guaranteed" departures if their dates are flexible. We don't recommend booking any non-refundable items (flights or otherwise) around a tour date that is not yet guaranteed. Currently, either date is $3999 per person land only in a double occupancy room.

I have two parents in their late 70s and they are wanting to go on their first retirement trip on a train. However, they need a tour guide and whereas my dad is very mobile, my mother is not. She can walk but not very far or for very long. My dad has memory problems and my mom needs help figuring things out quickly. So I'm looking for a tour where they have a guide that tells them what they're doing but also has an option for my mom if she's not able to physically do the walking required.

All of our tours that include a rail option or as a primary feature are categorized as a Level 2 for expected activity levels which could make any mobility and/or memory concerns an issue for your parents in-destination. Travel with an average of 37 people (maximum of 44). If you require any special assistance while on tour, please make us aware at time of reservation so the necessary request form can be sent to your attention.

The whole tour was excellently planned and organized. There were breathtaking places to see around the world. Our tour guide, Haydee, did a great deal to ensure that everything went so smoothly. She looked after all our fellow travelers around the clock and was always eager to respond to our wishes. You could come to her with any problem or question. Big praise to her! The performance of our coach driver must also be emphasized, as there were some really difficult routes to cover and we always felt very safe and comfortable. All in all - a very impressive tour. Many thanksShow more

Are there departure dates for July 2027?
Price / Availability
- ColletteOperator•Written August 2026
  Yes, we have a July 17th-25th, 2027 (guaranteed departure) or a July 10th-18th departure (not yet guaranteed). The not yet guaranteed departure means this date has not yet met it's minimum number of deposited travelers to be guaranteed to operate. It is still so early that this could certainly change in future, but we usually encourage guests to book on the "guaranteed" departures if their dates are flexible. We don't recommend booking any non-refundable items (flights or otherwise) around a tour date that is not yet guaranteed.
