Eichberger Travel

What Eichberger Travel does

Eichberger Reisen GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned German travel agency headquartered in Passau, Bavaria, operating a direct-to-consumer model that sells packaged European holidays (bus, flight, self-drive, and cruise) to individual travelers, families, and groups. The company runs six physical branch offices across the Passau/Bavaria region (Passau-Messestrasse, Passau-Kohlbruck, Passau-Brunngasse, Bad Füssing, Rotthalmünster, Haus im Wald) and complements this with online booking via its website eichberger-reisen.de (powered by a third-party ratioapp platform), printed catalogs, and a Stammkunden email newsletter. Pricing spans short city breaks from €149 (Prague, Vienna) to 8-day premium Adriatic packages at €1,499–€2,499 (Losinj, Opatija), with the core Croatia-Adriatic corridor (especially Istria and Kvarner Bay) as the principal revenue concentration.

The business generates revenue across three streams: one-time package holidays, one-time bus charter services, and recurring scheduled bus routes (Linienverkehr). Strategic differentiation rests on a vertically integrated Croatian stack — exclusive Saturday flights under the in-house flYellow brand from Vilshofen and Straubing airports (launched 2024), long-term Maistra Hotels room allocations in Rovinj, and the development of a wholly-owned design aparthotel, Hotel Avara, in Medveja, Croatia (acquisition 2024, under construction). The company is structured as a German KG with Eichberger Geschäftsführungs GmbH as general partner; Manfred Eichberger jun. and Harald Eichberger serve as managing directors. No parent company, external investors, or disclosed financials are present in the record.
