BE A HERO! BOOK THE TRAIN
Want to be the MVP of your next event? Book De Karel and become a legend. Cape optional, applause guaranteed. We’ll whisk you and your guests across the Netherlands in vintage style, turning heads and raising glasses. And the best part? Every ticket punches cancer in the face (metaphorically, of course), with proceeds going to the Dutch Cancer Society (KWF). That’s right! You party, cancer loses. Win-win.
YOUR BIG DAY IN STYLE!
Instead of an ordinary reception, celebrate your big day in style aboard De Karel . The perfect party venue after your ceremony. We’ll pick up your guests at the station of your choice and roll through the Dutch countryside together. Think of it as a limo but way cooler, because everyone’s invited! From wedding breakfasts to full dinners, our catering team makes sure no one goes hungry. Sip champagne on the platform, enjoy live entertainment, and let your guests celebrate in true Karel style.
A BESPOKE EXPERIENCE
Your wish is our track command. Want to whisk your guests from Maastricht to Groningen or maybe from A to Z via party town? Done. Fancy a pit stop in a charming city for stroopwafels and selfies? Say no more. You dream it, we steam it.
Just tell us what you’re imagining, and we’ll jump on board to make it real. We’ll chat, brainstorm, and give you a clear idea of the costs. No smoke, no mirrors, just magic on rails.
FUN FACT: I LOOK GREAT IN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHS

EXPERIENCE & ENJOY
“What do you even do on a train all day?” Oh, just have the best day ever, that’s all. Time flies when you’re gliding through the Dutch countryside with snacks in hand and music in the air.
Roam the train like royalty, chat with your guests, peek into the driver’s cabin (yes, you can make the announcements), hop off for scenic stops, and soak up the vibes. With live entertainment and catering that hits the spot, you’ll be asking: “Can we do this again next weekend?”
