Group travel

It’s very simple: send us a non-binding inquiry with the details of your trip using our booking platform. You will receive a suitable offer with a quote within one working day. After purchase, we will provide you with all tickets online.

We book a group trip for six or more people. Whether for a graduation trip, family celebrations or sporting events: so far, we have organised group trips for 6–30 people throughout Europe.

We will reserve seats for you (where possible) and make sure that you can all sit together.

When booking through SimpleTrain, we charge a small handling fee to compensate us for the service. Find out about our current prices here.

Travelling as a group on the night train is also possible. As places are limited, we recommend booking early. The booking period is usually six months. You can find more information about travelling by night train here.

Contrary to popular belief, travelling by train is not only good for the environment, but also good for your wallet. A group journey from Switzerland to Berlin or Amsterdam is available for as little as CHF 40 per person. The price also includes a seat reservation so that everyone can sit together. Check our travel destinations for approximate ticket prices.

Whether you’re travelling in a two, four or six–seater compartment, there’s plenty of room on the train to stretch your legs. There is also a table and power sockets in almost every long-distance train so that you can take care of urgent to-dos while travelling. In addition, there is no need for tedious stops for urgent toilet or catering needs.

No additional shuttle bus, no taxi: the train takes you to the heart of the city at most stations. Your discovery tour of your destination begins as soon as the train door opens.

Travelling by train takes much longer than a flight? That may be true if you only consider the time in the air. However, the journey to the airport, check-in time and any security buffers are often forgotten. This adds several hours to the flight time, which are less pleasant than travelling along Lago di Lugano in the Eurocity.

In contrast to plane journeys, train journeys very rarely include a check-in or security check. This means you don’t have to be at the station several hours in advance but can enjoy your favourite destination right up to the last minute.

Public transport not only brings you closer to the centre of your destination, but also closer to the everyday life of the locals. This often leads to interesting conversations or observations. There are also culinary specialities to try in the dining car before you arrive.

Travelling by train is an experience in itself. You see how the landscape slowly changes, and the excitement for the vacation lasts the whole journey.

Travelling doesn’t have to leave you with a guilty feeling. Travelling by train consumes around 30 times less CO2 than travelling by plane. Can’t imagine what that means? Then perhaps the following comparison will help you: travelling to Amsterdam by train instead of by plane has the same impact on the climate as not eating meat for six months.

The nearest airport is 200 kilometres away from your accommodation? Then a plane will only help in very few cases. There are over 40,000 railway stations in Europe, and we can book your group trip to any of them!

At least in our experience. Airports look the same all over the world while almost every long train journey offers unforgettable experiences. Marius will never forget his night train journey from the metropolis of London to the Scottish Highlands any more, and Linus will always remember his 400-bucks photo on the ferry to Greece.
