London, Edinburgh, and Dublin

Independent rail and ferry trip across London, Edinburgh, and Dublin

Railbookers operates this 10-day, 9-night independent rail package that links London, Edinburgh, and Dublin. The trip opens in London with tours of the Tower of London and Westminster, then continues by train to Edinburgh, where travelers visit Edinburgh Castle and take a day trip out to Loch Ness and the Highlands. From Edinburgh, the route runs by train through the countryside to a ferry crossing over to Dublin, where the trip settles in for three nights to take in the city's culture, history, and traditional Irish cuisine. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers make their own way between the three capitals and set their own pace once they arrive, rather than following a tour director. The trip suits travelers who want to see the capitals of England, Scotland, and Ireland in one trip and are comfortable managing trains, a ferry crossing, and changing hotels across three cities. Prices start from $2,699 per person.

What to know before you look closer

  • The journey from Edinburgh to Dublin includes a ferry crossing after the train ride through the countryside, so this trip is not entirely by rail.
  • The description confirms three nights in Dublin; how the remaining six of the nine nights split between London and Edinburgh is not specified in the evidence we have.
