The train journey is operated by ethical tour operators over at Responsible. Their latest itinerary is an epic 16-day sea and rail adventure from London to Cairo – perfect for those looking to reduce their carbon emissions while not missing out on a big holiday.

The trip starts with a train from London via the stunning Swiss Alps to Italy. Travellers then jump on a freight cruise from Salerno and sail along the Amalfi Coast, stopping off in Piraeus in Greece and Izmir in Turkey.

With space for only 12 people on board, it’s an extremely intimate way to travel. You eventually land in Israel, where you’ll join a local guide on a two-day trip to Bethlehem and Tel Aviv.
