Discover the Colosseum, walk through Pompeii, sail to Capri and lose yourself in Palermo’s vibrant markets on this incredible journey through southern Italy. Travelling through Italy by rail, you will discover ancient wonders, sun-soaked shores of Sorrento, and unforgettable Sicilian flavours.
Southern Italy has a magic all of its own, where ancient history, sparkling Mediterranean waters and sun-drenched streets create a way of life that feels wonderfully intoxicating. You’ll wander through grand piazzas and centuries-old streets, breathe in the scent of citrus and freshly prepared Italian food, and watch the world unfold at an unhurried pace. From Rome’s timeless beauty to the dramatic coastlines around Sorrento and the sun-soaked energy of Sicily, every day brings a new sense of discovery, with moments that invite you to slow down, soak it all in and fall a little more in love with Italy.
Along the way, you’ll encounter some of Italy’s most remarkable treasures. Step inside the mighty Colosseum and walk among the ruins of the Roman Forum in Rome with your expert guide, then journey to Pompeii, where an ancient city frozen beneath volcanic ash brings Roman life vividly back to the present. You’ll discover the beauty of Capri and Anacapri, including the magical Blue Grotto, before boarding an overnight ferry bound for Sicily. In Palermo, you’ll explore grand palaces, glittering Byzantine mosaics, magnificent churches and bustling food markets, with the freedom to discover the city’s many layers at your own pace.
And then there are the flavours. From Roman trattorias and Sorrento’s famous coastal cuisine to cannoli, cassata and sizzling street food in Palermo, gastronomy is woven into every stage of your adventure. Comfortable 4-star accommodation, daily breakfasts, private transfers and carefully selected rail journeys make the experience wonderfully easy, while the overnight ferry adds an evocative sense of adventure as you cross the Tyrrhenian Sea beneath the stars. This is Italy beyond the postcard, a journey where every train ride, ancient ruin, island breeze and Sicilian feast becomes part of the story.
