Travellers on the Strength through Joy ships touching on foreign ports receive a small Sum of pocket
money in foreign exchange to spend on shore. This
is included in the total price of the ticket and
in case of a trip to Italy this sum reaches a maximum of 100 lire. Provided with his ticket the
worker will then go to the appointed meeting place
or station where he will present himself to the
Reiseleiter, or guide and manager of the trip, whom
he may have already met at the "vacationers' rally."
On each overnight train journey there is one such
Reiseleiter, accompanied by a trained nurse to attend to possible incidental illnesses. On ocean
voyages there are usually three or four Reiseleiter,
one of whom, or more, may be women, The Reiseleiter 
is in charge of the excursion during the actual
journey, but when the final destination is reached
he hands over his group, should it be a large one,
to other Reiseleiter belonging to the local Strength
through JOY organization of the region visited, who,
being well acquainted with the locality, are in a
better position to help direct and arrange entertainments 
for the whole group. In general the Strength
through Joy offices of the "guest Gau" attend to the
care of the travellers and make up programs for their
entertainment once they have arrived.
