Senators are invited to holiday in the Rhine-side town of Remagen, Germany from Monday 27^th June to Monday 4^th July 2022.

Following the success of our trip to the Isle of Man in 2018, Senators are invited to holiday in the Rhine-side town of Remagen, Germany from 27th June to 4th July 2022.

This is an 8-day all-inclusive holiday, staying in the 3-star hotel Pinger, travelling by train (standard class) from St Pancras via Brussels and Cologne with four full-day included excursions. At the hotel, you will get a continental buffet breakfast and a 3-course buffet dinner every evening and 6 packed lunches. During dinner (18:30h-21:00h) an unlimited supply of house wine, beer and soft drinks are included. The only extras will be your lunches on the first and last days, the Ahr Valley day (details tbc) and anything you do on the free day, plus of course any drinks you choose to buy at other times!
The trip is being organised for us by Rail Discoveries (part of Great Rail Journeys who organised the Isle of Man trip) so we are able to take advantage of their organisation and buying power. The itinerary is similar to their tour https://www.raildiscoveries.com/tours/rhine-valley-all-inclusive/?tc=22RIS but tailor-made for our Senators-only private group with lots of additional content included in the price. The tour includes return travel to and from London but Senators from outside the UK can travel independently and join the group in Remagen. Maximum number of Senators and their guests is 40.
