UTRECHT, Netherlands, Dec. 21 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- There are just less
than a couple of weeks left to take advantage of Eurail's special end of year
offer.
The Eurail Group G.I.E. is offering an extra day of rail travel on all 6-
, 8- or 10- day Eurail Selectpasses purchased by 31st December. The first day
of travel must occur within 6 months of purchase, so you can buy now and
travel in 2007.
The Eurail Selectpass is one of Eurail's most popular and flexible of
rail passes as it allows customers to practically tailor make their own pass.
Travellers select 3, 4 or 5 adjoining countries of their choice and the
number of days they wish to travel. Adjoining countries can also be linked by
Eurail’s bonus partner shipping lines, resulting in some unexpected but
interesting combinations like France and Ireland, Germany and Sweden and
Spain and Italy. With 22 countries to choose from there are over 750
possible combinations, giving customers true freedom and flexibility!
"This is a great offer for people wanting to see a bit more of Europe for
less," said Ana Dias e Seixas, Eurail's Marketing Manager. "Whilst Eurail
Selectpasses are already excellent value, this special offer is giving our
customers even more freedom to explore Europe by rail."
Taking the train is the easiest, most relaxed way to experience Europe.
Europe's rail network is extensive and trains are frequent, taking travellers
from city centre to city centre quickly and efficiently, avoiding long check-
in queues and waits at airports or driving and parking hassles. One of the
main advantages of taking the train is that you actually get to see the
country you're travelling through, whether it's a bustling city or tranquil
countryside, the train is your window on Europe's diverse scenery and
cultures.
The EURAIL Group comprises 27 railways and shipping lines, as well as
several bonus partners. For more information about Eurail and to purchase,
