nsreisen

nsreisen is a name historically used by the Dutch railway company Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) to market travel and holiday packages. The brand, sometimes written NS Reizen or NS-Reizen, functioned as a consumer-facing travel arm of NS, combining railway travel with accommodations, tours, and other holiday services. It operated through travel offices and an online platform, and often collaborated with hotels, tour operators, and other partners to assemble rail-based vacation products for domestic and international destinations.

The offerings typically included weekend breaks, city trips, and longer rail holidays that leveraged NS’s train network. By packaging transport with lodging and activities, nsreisen aimed to attract travelers who preferred the convenience of rail-inclusive holidays and the reliability associated with NS services. While NS is primarily known as a railway operator, nsreisen represented its broader approach to travel services during periods when the organization pursued diversification beyond pure rail transport.

In the course of corporate reorganizations and branding updates within NS, the nsreisen label was phased out or incorporated into other divisions. Cross-border rail travel later received emphasis under NS International, while domestic travel sales and packages often shifted to alternate channels or platforms outside the original nsreisen brand. Today, the legacy of nsreisen reflects a period in which railway companies sought to integrate transportation with packaged travel offerings to support rail-based tourism.
