Gen Z and millennials on track for rise in Europe rail trips, says TruTravels
Edited by Travel Weekly


    TruTravels is riding the ever-increasing demand from Gen Z and travelling Millennials for small-group touring for 18-30 somethings with the introduction of new European rail itineraries.

    TruTravels’ first-ever small-group rail itinerary takes travellers from London via Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Lake Bled, Venice and Milan over 20 days.

    Filling a demand for more sustainable travel options, TruTravels said it had developed this new itinerary to blend the ease of the European rail network while also ensuring a fantastic time for its younger clients. Travellers also have the choice of completing just half of the trip, meaning flexibility for those with limited time or budget.

    Offers include A Slice of Italy, launching this September and covering the ruins of Rome, sunsets of Sorrento on a new eight-day tour. It is currently on sale for $2,636 for the last trip of 2024.

    “We expect both itineraries to be incredibly popular out of the Australian market” adding “the first departure of our new Southern Italy trip sold out in just days,” APAC head of sales, Sophie Whiting, said.

    To celebrate TruTravels currently have a flash summer sale with up to 40% off selected European itineraries but only until 8th May. Croatia Sail adventure is starting from just $1,590pp.
