Blue & Green Tomorrow

Each day we’re introducing one, two or three of our new affiliate friends. If you click through the link in this article, the link is tracked and may generate a small payment to us. Sometimes the payment is per click, per user, per application, per accepted application or any combination of the above. That payment funds us so we can grow and encourage even more readers to live, spend and invest sustainably. Today it’s the turn of Voyages SNCF.

Voyages-sncf.com is SNCF’s official online travel operator, specialising in European high speed train travel (Rail Europe). Since 2008 the group has been present in 9 countries, offering a comprehensive range of rail services for trains operating in France as well as international rail operators (Thalys, Eurostar, Elipsos, TGV Lyria, TGV France Spain, and more), bringing you high-speed travel throughout Europe.

In 2013, Rail Europe became part of Voyages-sncf.com. Operating under a single brand name, Voyages-sncf.com will be able to offer all of its European customers the same level of service: a vast range of products and services, a powerful, flexible, standardised network with over 13 websites and mobile apps in 6 languages.

Voyages-sncf.com generates 10% of its revenue from international train travel and offers 629 different destinations in 22 countries.

In 2006, Voyages-sncf.com became the VSC Group, which comprises 3 different operations: Voyages-sncf.com handles train ticket sales for SNCF in and outside France; the travel agency Voyages-sncf.com, a joint-venture with Expedia, sells flights, hotels, holidays, car hire and Loisirs + excursions; and VSC Technologies, a centre of excellence for the Internet and mobile technologies specialises in tourism for Voyages-sncf.com and other customers.
