The Alpine Belle
Tuesday 13th May - Wednesday 21st May 2026

Our 2026 tour – The Alpine Belle – was a spectacular journey through Central Europe, taking in glittering lakes, towering peaks and some of the most scenic railway lines in the Alps.

Featuring express steam locomotive 01 1104 alongside Swiss and Austrian locomotives, the tour travelled from Cologne through the Rhine Valley and along the shores of Lake Constance, before continuing through Innsbruck and Salzburg to Wiesbaden and Frankfurt. Guests enjoyed elegant on-board dining, scenic boat trips, cultural excursions and a journey on Europe’s oldest cog railway still operating with steam.
