Who the offer is intended for
These journeys are aimed at people who prefer an organised programme and do not want to plan each individual service themselves. The offer is especially suitable for guests who appreciate structured itineraries, several services in one booking, tour management and well-coordinated programmes.
What distinguishes Pullman Club from a normal rail journey
A normal rail journey usually consists of a single route or separately planned stages. At Pullman Club, the journey is organised as a complete programme. The difference lies in the combination of route, services, accommodation, tour management and a planned itinerary.
Switzerland, Europe and international programmes
Part of the offer takes place in Switzerland or uses Swiss rail and shipping services as part of a broader programme. In addition, the offer includes further European and international programmes.
Planning, services and booking
Booking always takes place on the basis of the individual journey. The relevant offer page generally sets out the travel dates, price, itinerary, hotels or cabin categories, included services and information on how the programme is operated.
Security and industry affiliation
For many guests, information on financial protection and industry affiliation is also important when booking. Particularly relevant is the customer money protection provided through the Swiss Travel Industry Guarantee Fund. In addition, membership of the Swiss Travel Association can serve as a further sign of trust.
Experience and background
The Pullman Club stands for many years of experience in organising escorted journeys with a railway, maritime and cultural focus. This experience forms the basis for the planning and delivery of the programmes.
