G Adventures announces Rail Collection – 60 trips in 20 countries

G Adventures has launched a new travel option called "The Rail Collection.”

The 60-trip portfolio features iconic rail journeys and lesser-known routes, and includes trips from across G’s travel styles, from Solo-ish to Geluxe.

Instead of rushed airport transits and wasted time on flights that bypass local life on the ground, “every rail journey is a focal point and unforgettable part of the experience, from the rarely seen landscapes and villages viewed from a window seat on a journey through India or Italy, to the unexpected conversations and memories made from sharing a cabin with locals on a night train in Vietnam,” said G in a press release.

The majority of every journey is taken by rail, and true to all G Adventures trips, every element of the new journeys are pre-planned for the group and guided by charismatic Chief Experience Officers (CEOs).

There’s also an environmental angle. “By swapping flights for rail, travellers will reduce carbon footprint, and enjoy an easier way to explore more responsibly, while making the most of authentic connections and soaking up every detail along the way,” G said.

The collection also allows travellers to visit harder-to-reach local communities – the trains will stop off at smaller transport hubs and stations, so groups can buy from local sellers and take in daily life in lesser-seen parts of a country.

“Rail travel can be so much more than just a mode of transportation; it’s a gateway into responsible cultural exploration, where the journey is just as enjoyable as the destination,” said Yves Marceau, vice president of product at G Adventures, in a statement.

“It is often viewed as a slow-paced and tame way to travel but, in reality, it can be thrilling, vibrant and filled with cultural immersion. Travellers want the thrill of adventure without the stress of planning every detail, the freedom to explore without the hassle of airports, and a journey that feels as immersive as the places they visit. We’ve picked 60 fantastic trips from across G Adventures’ travel styles that really celebrate the different experiences available through train travel; from high-tech commuter trains in Japan, to sleeper trains in Vietnam.”
