Rail Europe expands reach in Central and Eastern Europe with new Croatia routes
Paris, 14 October 2024 - Rail Europe, the reference brand for European train booking, is thrilled to announce the expansion of its geographic coverage to Croatia for its partners and B2B customers. This strategic move enhances the company’s presence in Central and Eastern Europe, enabling travel agents to book journeys to and from Croatia using ÖBB international services.
Over recent years, Croatia has become an internationally renowned travel destination. With Croatia now part of its portfolio, Rail Europe offers a seamless rail travel experience across the region, allowing travellers to explore the country’s stunning landscapes, beautiful beaches, and rich cultural heritage. This expansion also offers greater flexibility for cross-border train travel, enabling exploration of multiple destinations in Continental, Central and Eastern Europe, including ÖBB’s popular night trains. For example, customers can now easily connect from Vienna to Split or even Zagreb with the Euronight and from Paris, London, Amsterdam or Barcelona, to Zagreb using Rail Europe’s multi-inventory feature.
"We are thrilled to welcome Croatia to our B2B destinations," said Jürgen Witte, Chief Product & Technology Officer at Rail Europe. "This strategic expansion strengthens as number 1 one-stop-shop for European train travel while also enriching our customers' travel experience. By integrating journeys to and from Croatia, we're opening access to iconic cities like Zagreb, Split, as well as major European cities such as Vienna, Salzburg, Graz or Bratislava. This will allow our partners to offer more diverse and flexible options, ensuring they can meet the ever-evolving needs of their customers."
By further reinforcing its partnership with ÖBB, Austria’s national railway company, Rail Europe ensures that travel agents and their customers benefit from a wide range of travel options, while experiencing an unparalleled blend of efficiency, reliability, and scenic splendour. With these new routes, Rail Europe continues to expand its network and deliver exceptional rail travel experiences worldwide.
