Eurail’s popular National Pass range, offering travellers the
possibility to discover a single country in depth, will have more countries
in its portfolio with Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg),
Croatia, Ireland, Italy and Portugal available from January 1, thereby
increasing the total number of passes to 15.
In addition, the Eurail Regional Pass, created three years ago to allow
unlimited travel in two bordering countries, will also have new countries
combinations on offer. In 2007, customers will be able to choose Austria and
Hungary or Italy and Spain in addition to the 16 other passes already
available.
"Eurail is adapting its pass range to match the way many overseas
visitors travel today," says Rene de Groot, Eurail’s Managing
Director. "With holidays abroad getting shorter and more frequent, many
travellers have less time for extended journeys throughout Europe, and our
National and Regional passes will allow them to comfortably explore one or
two countries in depth in one trip. By adding these pass options, we are
offering our customers increasingly more choice and value for money."
In addition to the Eurail National and Regional Passes, Eurail continues
to offer the Eurail Select Pass, valid for 3, 4 or 5 bordering countries
chosen by the traveller, as well as the original Eurailpass (renamed to
Eurail Global Pass), covering a total of 18 countries, for people wishing to
discover as much of Europe as possible.
The EURAIL Group comprises 27 railways and shipping lines, as well as
several bonus partners. For more information about Eurail and rail travel in
