Two of 2024’s top travel trends are sustainable travel and slow travel. Rocco Forte Hotel combined both with the Rocco Forte by Rail offer, allowing customers to fully immerse themselves in multiple destinations while traveling scenic routes.
Starting at The Balmoral in Edinburgh and ending at Verdura Resort in Sicily, guests on the 16-night journey discover eight of Europe’s top cities with two nights at each Rocco Forte property within the city and first-class rail tickets between each destination. At each stop, travelers have the opportunity to experience the city’s culture through each property’s thoughtful combination of people, hospitality, location, cuisine, unique character and local immersive experiences.
Some of the local cultural experiences include:
Enjoy a bespoke experience in partnership with Scotland’s first unisex perfume shop, Kingdom Scotland, with the Scent Butler at The Balmoral.
