What Are B2B Railway Holiday Packages?

A B2B railway holiday package is wholesale rail travel sold to agents at net rates—anything from a single luxury-train cabin to a fully escorted multi-day rail tour with hotels, transfers and sightseeing. You add a markup, sell it on, keep the margin.

Rail is the niche most agents overlook—and that's exactly why it's worth your attention. The journey is the holiday. There's a particular kind of traveller who has done the beaches and the city breaks and now wants something slower, something with a window seat and a view that changes for eight hours. They're usually older, usually well-off, and they'll happily pay for a cabin on the Eastern & Oriental Express or a first-class observation seat winding up into Sri Lanka's tea hills.

And here's the thing: these trips are genuinely hard to book alone. Departure dates are limited, cabin classes are confusing, the good seats sell out, and connecting a train segment to the right hotels and transfers takes local knowledge. Clients want an expert. That's you—backed by our net rates and ground teams. The complexity that scares off casual bookers is precisely what protects your margin.

SIGNATURE ROUTES

Asia's Most Spectacular Rail Journeys

Six rail countries with net rates, reserved seats and on-ground teams along the route

Eastern & Oriental Express

The flagship of Asian luxury rail. Wood-panelled cabins, white-glove dining and observation cars travelling between Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. The ultimate high-margin sell for clients who want a once-in-a-lifetime journey. Limited departures—book early.

Luxury SG · MY · TH
Kandy to Ella, Sri Lanka

Regularly named one of the most beautiful train rides on earth. The hill-country line climbs through emerald tea estates, misty valleys and waterfalls. Affordable, accessible and photogenic—the perfect entry-level rail experience to bolt onto any Sri Lanka tour.

Scenic Day Trip Great Value
Reunification Express, Vietnam

Vietnam's north-south railway hugs the coastline between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, with the spectacular Hai Van Pass section near Da Nang. Soft-sleeper cabins make it a comfortable, characterful way to see the country—ideal for slow-travel itineraries.

Coastal Sleeper Cabins
Palace on Wheels, India

India's legendary luxury trains—Palace on Wheels, Maharajas' Express and Deccan Odyssey—recreate the opulence of the maharajas with sumptuous cabins and royal Rajasthan itineraries. Plus the UNESCO Himalayan toy trains for something quieter and quirkier.

Royal Luxury Multi-Day
Death Railway, Thailand

The historic Thailand-Burma railway over the River Kwai bridge, combining dramatic scenery with poignant WWII history. A powerful half-day or full-day add-on from Bangkok or Kanchanaburi that resonates with history-minded and older travellers.

History Day Tour
Rail-Plus Itineraries

Because we hold rates and ground services across all these countries, you can build rail-plus trips: a Singapore-to-Bangkok luxury journey extended into a Thailand tour, or a Sri Lanka rail ride wrapped inside a full island itinerary. One quote, one supplier.

FAQ

Rail Holidays: Common Questions

What agents ask before selling their first rail journey

B2B railway holiday packages are wholesale rail-travel products sold to registered travel agents at net rates. They range from individual luxury-train cabins and rail passes to fully escorted multi-day rail tours combining train journeys, hotels, transfers and sightseeing. The agent adds a markup and sells to clients, keeping the margin between the net rate and the selling price.

Rail holidays are an underserved, high-interest niche. Scenic train journeys appeal strongly to mature travellers, slow-travel enthusiasts and rail enthusiasts who are willing to pay a premium for the experience. Luxury train cabins carry healthy margins, the trips are complex enough that clients need an expert to book them, and a memorable rail journey generates word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings.

The Eastern & Oriental Express between Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand is the flagship luxury journey. Other favourites include Sri Lanka's Kandy-to-Ella hill-country line, Vietnam's Reunification Express along the coast, India's palace-on-wheels and Himalayan toy trains, and Thailand's historic Death Railway. We arrange net-rate access and full ground support across these and more.

Both. You can book standalone train tickets and luxury cabins for clients who only need the rail segment, or build complete rail tour packages with hotels, transfers, guides and sightseeing wrapped around the journey. Many agents start with a scenic rail day trip added to an existing itinerary, then graduate to full multi-day rail holidays.

Luxury trains like the Eastern & Oriental Express run limited departures and sell out months ahead, so book 6-12 months in advance for peak dates and specific cabin categories. Popular scenic services such as Sri Lanka's hill-country line should be booked 1-3 months ahead, especially for reserved first-class observation seats. Our team flags departure availability at quote stage.

Yes. We arrange group rail tours, private carriage hire, and special-interest charters for rail enthusiast clubs and societies. Groups can have reserved blocks of seats or cabins, dedicated guides, and coordinated transfers and hotels along the route. Group rail tours often qualify for free escort places or additional commission on volume.

A typical package includes the train ticket or cabin in the chosen class, station transfers, hotels before and after the rail segment, meals where applicable (luxury trains usually include dining on board), a guide for sightseeing portions, and 24/7 ground support. Every quote itemises exactly what's covered so you can present a clean, all-in price to your client.

Standard train tickets are usually paid in full at confirmation because rail operators require immediate ticketing. Luxury trains and multi-day rail packages typically follow a deposit-plus-balance structure, with a 25-30% deposit and the balance due before travel. Established agents may qualify for credit terms, and quotes can be issued in multiple currencies.
