Tracks Less Travelled

A selection of weird and wonderful journeys without flying.

Top of the WorldThis is a once-in-a-lifetime journey through remote and spectacular landscapes taking in the Aran Islands, Outer Hebrides and Iceland. You’ll travel on board the intimate MS Fram cruise ship specially designed to explore coastal landscapes with a minimal impact on the environment.

Northern SoulA magical mystery tour through the Highlands, Faroe Isles and the sparkling Norwegian Fjords. If you like the idea of truly getting away from it all, this one’s for you. You’ll probably meet more birds and whales than people! You’ll also encounter spell bounding cliffs, islets, beach lines as far as the eye can see, and sunsets you can only dream of. Travel in style aboard the Norrona cruise ferry and ride one of the most celebrated scenic rail routes in the world.

Aqua BlissThe gentle lapping of the waves against a wind-driven hull. A pod of Dolphins playing in the curling bow wave. The sight and sound of nothing but waves and ocean breezes. This is not a dream but an unrivalled traveling experience – crossing the Atlantic on the largest Sail boat in the world. You’d think it would take skill, endurance or at least getting your hands dirty and your hair wet. In fact, life on board the Royal Clipper is nothing but exclusive and secluded luxury.

Trans Siberian - Eurasian ExperienceA classic rail journey from Moscow to Beijing taking in some of the most extreme, remote and spectacular parts of the world. Over 9,000km and across 8 time zones, you can break up this journey with a trek in the Gobi Desert or ride a snowmobile in Siberia. These tours have been put together by people who know all the ins and outs of the ‘Trans’ experiences and are passionately committed to providing packages that are unique, affordable and hassle free. Best of all there are no group departures so the adventure is all yours…

Trans Siberian - Super Trans SibFor those with a thirst for adventure and in search of some the most remote and desolate corners of the world, the Super Trans Sib has it all.. This tour includes options for Siberian skiing, scuba diving, ice fishing, husky dog sledding, snow mobile adventures, quad biking, trekking, hiking, mountain biking or just doing your own thing in some of the most unspoilt villages and scenery you’re ever likely to find. Every day of this journey is an eye opener and whilst all the logistics are taken care of, there are no group departures so the experience is yours to behold.

Trans Siberian - Inner and Outer MongoliaFor curious minds, this trip offers a chance to see some of the least visited parts of the world including both ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ Mongolia. Amongst several other highlights, you’ll spend 2 nights in a Nomadic Ger tent as guests of local desert herdsmen in Mongolia. To put it bluntly, this trip will take you to a world apart, and with all the logistics taken care of, you’re free to make the most of your experience with complete peace of mind. As there are no group departures, you have all the freedom of an independent traveller, along with access to local sites and destinations way off the beaten track!

Ottoman QuestA cross-continent adventure through Central and Eastern Europe culminating in the bazaars and ancient wonders of Istanbul. Your first stop is Vienna, and then into the deep heart of Eastern Europe via Bucharest. Shown here as a one way journey, you can also return via Sofia and Belgrade. Better still - venture on to the Middle East or Central Asian Republics (call us for details).

Trans Siberian - Gobi and GulagDuring the twentieth century, Siberia meant one thing to most Russians – hard labour prison camps. This tour features a rare and unique opportunity to visit the last remaining Gulag, near Perm. Sun, sea and sand it aint but this intriguing tour does feature a relaxing rafting trip down the Usva River and a visit to the stunning Kungur Ice caves. For a complete contrast, the 2nd half of your journey will land you in the serene tranquillity of the Mongolian countryside and the rich cultural heritage of Ulaanbaataar – ‘Capital on the Steppes’. A truly out of the ordinary experience that will leave you in awe and bewilderment but without having to spare a thought for logistics. And with no group departures, you’ll never feel like a packaged tourist!

Tagine DreamJust 2 days of travelling and everything changes. This holiday is a perfect example of how you don’t have to go to the other side of the world to see something truly different. A magic carpet ride to Morocco with journey breaks in Madrid and the Costa Del Sol.
