Independent rail holiday provider Railbookers Group announced the launch of its two flagship brands, Railbookers and Amtrak Vacations, in the Asian market today, 13th October.
This marks a significant milestone in the company’s global growth, bringing its expertise and wide portfolio of rail journeys to Asia and its dynamic and fast-growing travel markets by hiring Singapore-based staff in the sales and business development departments, with additional growth expected in 2026 and beyond.
With Asian travellers known for their strong appetite for international journeys, this expansion provides access to curated, independent holidays by rail.
Travellers may now explore iconic destinations in Europe, the United States, Canada and beyond, all with the flexibility of booking and travelling any day the train goes from last-minute to two years out, the convenience of expertly arranged itineraries inclusive of rail, hotel, sightseeing, transfers and more, as well as dedicated on-trip customer care.
A much-anticipated debut
Railbookers Group president and chief executive Frank Marini expressed pleasure at finally being able to bring the company’s flagship brands to Asia whilst setting up shop with an entirely local staff.
Marini said: “Travellers here have a deep passion for exploring the world, and we are proud to offer them unforgettable rail holidays across six continents as independent travellers or perhaps in small unescorted groups. This expansion is part of our continued global growth and commitment to bringing our complete rail holidays to more customers around the world.”
Indeed, with the addition of Singapore as its Asian hub, Railbookers Group is now serving customers in six global source markets: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.
The Railbookers difference
Through Railbookers, guests and travel agents across Asia can book journeys aboard world-renowned trains such as the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Rocky Mountaineer and Glacier Express, with flexible departure dates and hand-picked hotels, choosing from 3-, 4-, and 5-star options at each destination.
The offering includes Amtrak Vacations, the official tour operator for Amtrak in the United States, who create scenic rail adventures across America from national parks like the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone to iconic cities including New York, Chicago and San Francisco.
Railbookers brands enable travellers to easily shop for their ideal rail journeys, packaged together with the hard work and logistics already handled.
The expert sales support team can also customise journeys to suit each travellers’ own pace, with the reassurance of Railbookers Group’s expertise in planning rail holidays that take the hassle out of travel while maximising experiences on and off the train.
