The Society of International Railway Travelers

The Society of International Railway Travelers® (IRT) is a family-owned luxury travel agency specializing in over-the-top rail experiences since 1983.

Based in the United States in Louisville, Kentucky, co-owners Owen and Eleanor Hardy are “committed to providing the kind of care one would expect from a friend,” Owen says. “In fact, we’ve become friends with many of our clients.” We are proud to offer the very finest in travel the world over.

When clients began requesting services beyond luxury rail, IRT joined the invitation-only Virtuoso luxury travel consortium.

“Joining Virtuoso gave us – and our clients – immediate and intimate access to the best of the best,” Eleanor says. “The best cruise lines, tour and safari companies, hotels and other luxury travel services.”
