No Fly Holidays

If you don’t want to fly, on selected Travelsphere holidays you can take the train direct to the Continent.  Travelling by rail is a really easy way to start your holiday, with direct links from all over the UK to St Pancras International, where you’ll connect with Eurostar. Passengers are required to check in a minimum of just 45 minutes prior to departure (this beats the airport) and will then enjoy a speedy, comfortable journey to Avignon, Lyon, Paris, Lille or Brussels. Travel in comfort. Whilst on board you are free to move around the train and to visit the two buffet cars, where you can purchase hot and cold drinks and delicious snacks, and choose from a selection of beers, wine and spirits. Passengers choosing a seat upgrade to Standard Premier will benefit from reclining seats and one complimentary light meal, plus one alcoholic and one non-alcoholic beverage. | See all Late Offers |
