Golden Eagle Danube Express - Paris to Istanbul from London

12-day rail journey linking London, Paris and Istanbul

Railbookers operates this 12-day, 11-night independent rail package on the Golden Eagle Danube Express, with a route that the trip's name and destination list describe as London, Paris and Istanbul, crossing the United Kingdom, France and Turkey. The operator's description calls it a grand voyage blending adventure, luxury and cultural exploration, and highlights the historical heart of Istanbul as well as the timeless elegance of Paris. As an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travellers make their own way between stops rather than following one guided group for the whole journey. It suits travellers who want to combine several major European and Turkish cities on one rail based trip, with a taste for higher end, culturally rich travel. Railbookers has not published a full day-by-day itinerary for this package, so the exact stops, especially how London fits into the route, are worth confirming directly before booking.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers has not published a day-by-day itinerary or a list of specific departure dates for this package; confirm the exact route, hotels and schedule with them before booking.
  • The description text available to us focuses on Istanbul, Cappadocia and Paris and does not mention London at all, even though this trip's name and destination list are London, Paris and Istanbul. It also mentions an overnight journey to Cappadocia with a hot air balloon ride, but Cappadocia is not part of this trip's destination list; confirm with Railbookers exactly which stops and cities are included on this specific package.
