European Rail - Driving train travel forward

There is no reliable information, but it is believed that St Pancras was born and brought up by his uncle in Rome. He was executed at age 14 for his faith. How appropriate that you should start your journey to Rome from the new St Pancras International station!

Let the journey begin - settle back in your comfortable seat as you start off to Paris on the first High Speed line in the UK. After a change of station you will soon be on you way to Geneva where you board the direct overnight train to Rome. Your private two-berth cabin is reserved so you can visit the restaurant for dinner as you speed through the Alps before settling down for the overnight trip.

On arrival at Roma Termini station the next morning your hotel is central to all the activity. Unlike some companies we only book central hotels. Once you have unpacked why not take a guided tour from the front of the station? There are themed tours for Christian Rome, Archaeological Rome, Historic Rome or try a restored old tram tour (its very bumpy but great fun!). Now you have your bearings you can go back to those interesting places.

Easter in Rome is a really special time. Thousand flock to Vatican City on Easter Sunday for the Papal Blessing. This is a very colourful affair with pilgrims carrying flags and flowers. Join in the fun and enjoy the special occasion.

All too soon it is time to travel back. An evening departure from Roma Termini in your private cabin on the direct overnight train to Paris connects with the Eurostar home at lunchtime the next day. Not only will you return with great photos but with priceless memories. The cost is from £776.80 per person based on two people sharing a twin or double room.
