Rail Europe is offering multiple new and upgraded options for exploring Europe in 2019. The Eurail Global Pass now features unlimited rail travel in 31 countries, with the addition of Great Britain, Lithuania and Macedonia in 2019. A new pricing structure makes it a better deal as well. Compared to 2018 prices, Eurail Global Passes are now permanently up to 37 per cent cheaper. Note that Eurail Global Passes purchased in 2018 will not be valid for use in Great Britain in 2019.

Travellers enjoy greater flexibility and do not need to decide upfront where to go. They can begin travel within 11 months of purchase and cover all multi-country travel with a single pass. To accommodate shorter itineraries, a new three days in one month Eurail Global Pass has also been added. For travellers who wish to explore a single country, the Eurail One Country Pass is now available for six days in one month. A Eurail Lithuania Pass and Eurail Macedonia Pass are also new. Moreover, seniors aged 60 and over receive 10 per cent off the adult fare on any Eurail Global Pass or Eurail One Country Pass for first- and second-class travel.
