The Golden Age of Travel

Recall a glorious age of travel with a luxury rail journey or cruise that takes in winding, mesmerising scenery that’s otherwise unreached. Skirt emerald lakes and cross raging rivers on wooden trestle bridges with Canada's Rocky Mountaineer or connect Perth and Sydney on the Indian Pacific as you swap rolling farmlands for the vast enormity of the Outback.

And Australia’s unique beauty gets that bit more tempting with savings of up to £1,190 per person on Business Class flights with Emirates. Further afield, there are savings of up to £1,975 but hurry – the sale ends soon.

If that doesn’t excite, perhaps an exploratory cruise or river laze might. Wend down the Rhine in boutique luxury to stop off at its storybook ports or trace the Norwegian coastline in all its wild jags and sublime fjords to be introduced to sleepy fishing villages and hearty Nordic cuisine.
