Lernidee Erlebnisreisen is swiftly approaching its 40th anniversary. For more than half of this time — over 20 years —Rovos Rail has stood by our side as an exceptional partner, helping to make dreams come true along Africa’s railway tracks. Recently, we had the pleasure of welcoming Rovos Rail’s founder and owner, Rohan Vos, to our office, where we laid the tracks for a promising future together.

With what are likely the finest carriages on the African continent and a shared vision, we look forward to continuing to create unforgettable journeys through southern Africa — experiences that our guests will cherish for a lifetime — aboard our exclusive Rovos Rail charter and the special train African Explorer.

A Contribution to the Community in Laos 🤝❤️

Thanks to the generous support of our guests, we’ve been able to make a real difference! Last year, Christel and Gunter Georgi, guests from Becker Travel Agency, joined us on the Mekong cruise to Laos. Even before their journey, they informed us of their plan to use donations from their personal network for a charitable cause in Laos.

Their initiative made an essential renovation possible in Ban Done Mixay—the village where the Lernidee Foundation had already established a school. The collected funds helped rebuild the much-needed teacher’s residence, providing a proper home for the teacher. 🏫

A heartfelt thank you to the Georgi family and to everyone who contributes with their donations to improving local education opportunities. Together, we can bring about meaningful change in the world!

Research trip to North Karelia 🏞️

Our colleague Jamena-Lee Schreiber from Tuja Reisen was on a FAM trip in Finland at the beginning of October to explore two exceptional hotels from Sokos Hotels for our future summer and winter trips in 2025/26: Break Sokos Hotel Koli in Lieksa and Break Sokos Hotel Bomba in Nurmes.

What makes the hotels so special, apart from breathtaking views and fantastic wellness services?

The Koli Hotel is located on the famous Koli mountain and offers numerous opportunities for nature experiences and adventures, ideal for hiking and relaxing in peaceful surroundings. 🌲

The Bomba Hotel offers a wide range of accommodation options, including cosy cabins and hotel rooms in various categories with magnificent views of Lake Pielinen. It also has its own activity company with a fantastic selection of experiences. The charming town of Nurmes is also just a few minutes away.

Basically, summer or winter, there's never a dull moment here. Look forward to experiencing e-bike tours, canoeing adventures, traditional Finnish baking workshops for the famous Karelian pierogi and relaxing evenings by the fire with Tuja Reisen! 🥟🔥🛶

Yes, we did it again: Exactly two decades after the maiden voyage of our first Mekong ship, our Mekong River family is growing once more! And like all proud parents we’re so happy we need to tell everybody about it: Our boutique ships Mekong Sun and Mekong Pearl will be getting a little sister, scheduled date of birth is fall 2025. 🤩

Our first ship on the Laotian part of the Mekong River was and still is a real pioneering feat. Before, there was no way to travel this pristine part of Southeast Asia in comfort and style. A few years later, our little jungle cruise had become so popular that we had to build a second ship. And now, we’re going for a third one - with only 12 cabins and so many upgraded amenities that it’d take forever to tell you here. That’s why we want to meet you at the WTM in London this November — we can’t wait to talk to you all about our many new projects and ideas! Make an appointment with us: www.trains-and-cruises.com/contact

The following departures on and along the Mekong River still have a few cabins available (ships: Mekong Sun and Mekong Pearl):
➡️ 02 OCT – 12 OCT 2024 · Vientiane – Golden Triangle
➡️ 14 OCT – 24 OCT 2024 · Golden Triangle – Vientiane
➡️ 26 OCT – 05 NOV 2024 · Vientiane – Golden Triangle
➡️ 29 OCT – 03 NOV 2024 · Luang Prabang – Vientiane
➡️ 05 NOV – 10 NOV 2024 · Vientiane – Luang Prabang
➡️ 04 DEC – 09 DEC 2024 · Vientiane – Luang Prabang

Dear partners of Lernidee Trains & Cruises,

You won’t believe how much we’re looking forward to seeing you either at the PURE in Marrakech (September 9–12) or at the IFTM in Paris (September 17–19). We have so many new and exciting projects to discuss with you!

To give you a little teaser: There’s a new train in our portfolio that follows the legendary tracks of Agatha Christie’s most famous mystery novel, offering comfy compartments and showing travelers the essence of Europe in only nine days, the GEE or Great European Express. And the GEE is not the only nostalgic train rolling in Europe: The Al Ándalus, while not presenting the Old World in quite this entirety, is a great way to explore the wonders of Spain.

If you’re attending either trade fair, please make an appointment with us as soon as you can: www.trains-and-cruises.com/contact

We can't wait! 🤩

🇨🇭🚂 Switzerland and trains – it's a love story that stretches back over a century. With some of the most scenic rail routes in the world, including the iconic Glacier Express and the Bernina Express, train travel here isn’t just about getting from point A to point B; it’s an experience in itself.

Swiss trains glide through breathtaking landscapes, from snow-capped peaks to serene lakes, offering travelers unparalleled views and a sense of timeless journeying. Whether it's the punctuality, the precision, or the sheer beauty of the routes, Switzerland’s railways embody the spirit of the country itself – a blend of innovation, tradition, and respect for nature.

Planning a trip to Switzerland? Be sure to explore it by rail, and discover why for the Swiss, the journey is just as important as the destination!

Ever wondered how Lernidee Erlebnisreisen began its adventure? 🌍🚂🛳️🚲

In 1986, our journey began with a geography teacher from West Berlin, Hans Engberding, who had ideas too big for any classroom. What started as an ad for Russian language courses led to a unique misunderstanding—people thought the lessons would take place while traveling across Russia. Despite the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain, Engberding made it happen. He took his students on the Trans-Siberian Railroad, teaching Russian from Moscow to Lake Baikal.

This unique approach was a hit! More and more travelers wanted to learn about countries while traversing them by train. And so, Lernidee Erlebnisreisen (our German name) was born. From the legendary Silk Road to safaris on rails in Africa, and train journeys through India, Spain, and Canada, our adventure had only just begun.

Today, we work with amazing partners from all over the world (that’s you!) and offer exciting adventure trips on all continents but concentrate mostly on our journeys on legendary trains and railroads, and cruises on small ships.

As we look to the future, we're excited to continue crafting unforgettable journeys that inspire and educate our guest! ✨

German-Speaking Tour Guide Training on Our Mekong Ships in Laos 🚢🌏

The week before last, we had the pleasure of welcoming 24 German-speaking tour guides from Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam for a comprehensive training session on our Mekong ships. 🎓

Led by experienced coach Matthias Palm, the training covered several important topics:
➡️ Understanding German expectations on a Lernidee trip 🇩🇪
➡️ Rhetorical skills for managing larger tour groups 🗣️
➡️ Conflict resolution training 🤝
➡️ Insights into German travel law 📜

The participants were grateful for the opportunity and spoke highly of the training:

"It’s great that Lernidee organized this event. I gained a lot of motivation for my job and a better understanding of my guests. There hasn't been an event like this in Laos for over six years, and it’s wonderful to reconnect with many of my colleagues here." – Bounthavy, tour guide in Luang Prabang.

A big thank you to everyone who made this event possible and to our dedicated tour guides who continually strive to enhance the travel experience for our guests ❤️⚓
