Travelmarvel Launches Rail & Small Group Tour Itineraries for 2027

Travelmarvel, the premium arm of APT Travel Group offering worldwide cruises and escorted tours, has launched its first ever touring brochure, including new rail & small group holiday across Europe, Asia and Australia for 2027/28.
With the launch of rail & small group tour itineraries and an expanded range of destinations, Travelmarvel now offers an even wider breadth of choice for travels including river and yacht cruise, small group and escorted tours, ocean cruise, and rail tours.
Designed to help guests discover destinations in greater depth, and supported by local tour guides and dedicated guest support throughout the travel journey, the new itineraries are complemented by extension itineraries that can be added to many holidays, offering additional flexibility and opportunities to tailor each journey to individual interests.
To mark the launch of its new 27/28 brochure, Travelmarvel is offering an early booking low deposit of £100pp, with up to £1,000 savings on selected 2027 departures, valid on bookings made until 31 July 2026.*
Paul Melinis, Managing Director of APT Luxury & Travelmarvel for UK and Europe, says: “As demand for immersive travel continues to grow, it’s only fitting to introduce rail and small group tours which combine with our river and small ship cruises. With 78% of holidaymakers agreeing that the journey itself is an important part of their holiday, we’ve created these itineraries to reflect the natural environment and culture in each country.
“The new Travelmarvel Worldwide Touring brochure provides customers with what they are looking for – unbeatable value, outstanding service, and flexibility – without compromising on quality.”
