Intrepid Travel is tapping into the rising interest in train travel with the launch of a new dedicated rail travel range featuring 40 itineraries, including three brand new routes. The Trans-Mongolian Railway Adventure, Express to the Orient from Paris to Istanbul, and Paris to Rome by Rail are among the highlights.

The move comes as new data from Intrepid shows that 75% of travelers are hoping to take a train journey on their next trip, primarily motivated by the chance to take in scenic views, relax and experience iconic rail routes. Environmental impact is also a major factor, with 87% saying they would consider an alternative transportation option that reduces their carbon footprint, even if it means a longer journey.

The new rail trips will allow Intrepid's customers to travel at a slower pace, immerse themselves in the countryside and interact more with locals while riding commuter trains accompanied by one of Intrepid's leaders. The average group size on these trips are just 10-12 people.

In addition to the three new marquee routes, the range includes iconic journeys like Bangkok to Southern Thailand, as well as lesser-known routes such as Varanasi to Agra in India. There are also rail family adventures highlighting destinations like Japan's Tokyo to Kyoto, and Italy's Rome to Pompeii.

The rail launch is part of Intrepid's broader decarbonization strategy and long-term plan to swap out internal flights for lower-emission transport options, where feasible.
