Board the legendary Jacobite Steam Train — immortalised as the Hogwarts Express — and thunder across the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct above the Highland glens. A cinematic, once-in-a-lifetime journey through the soul of the Scottish Highlands.
What to expect
Depart Fort William station in a beautifully restored steam carriage, the locomotive exhaling great plumes of white smoke as you climb into the Highlands. The Glenfinnan Viaduct crossing — 21 arches above a shimmering loch — is the defining moment: pause, photograph, absorb. The train terminates at the fishing village of Mallaig on the 'Road to the Isles', where seafood awaits before the return journey. First-class seats include complimentary refreshments and the finest window views.
Good to know
Departs Fort William at 10:15 am; returns approximately 4:00 pm — check your all-aboard time carefully. Book first-class well in advance as these sell out months ahead; standard class also books up rapidly in peak season. The station is a short walk from the cruise tender pier.
