InterRail Pass Benefits

Free Benefits
If you travel on a 5 or 10-day flexible InterRail Pass, you can only use a free benefit on a day which you fill in on your Pass (a travel day). In case of a free overnight ferry, you may enter either the day of departure or arrival in the travel calendar. For free passage on international routes, the InterRail Pass must be valid for the country of departure AND the country of arrival. For domestic travel, your InterRail Pass must be valid in the country you travel in.
Reduced Fares
Please note that reduction benefits do not require the use of a travel day on your InterRail Pass. If traveling at a reduced rate, the travel may take place at any time, provided it is within the overall validity of the InterRail Pass, even if all the travel days in the calendar have been used up. For a reduced passage on international routes, the InterRail Pass must be valid for the country of departure OR the country of arrival. For domestic travel, your InterRail Pass must be valid in the country you travel in.

Overnight Trains

Travelling while you sleep is a sensible option. You make the best use of your time and save on accommodation costs. Go to bed at one end of the country and wake up in another – well rested and ready for the new day.

Overnight trains travel the following domestic and international routes:

  • Göteborg – Östersund/Storlien – Göteborg
  • Stockholm– Östersund/Storlien – Stockholm
  • Malmö – Stockholm – Malmö
  • Malmö – Berlin – Malmö (Berlin Night Express, please see info bellow)

Sweden’s Overnight trains are among Europe’s most modern. Nordpilen (“Northern Arrow”) runs from Göteborg to Östersund/Storlien and back. It has a movie-and Bistro carriage. Two films are shown each evening, as well as a free short film for children. The Stockholm-Östersund route also has a Bistro carriage.

There are several different travel categories:

Exclusive compartments


Private compartment with 2 beds, en-suite shower and toilet.

2-berth compartment


Shared 2-berth compartment. Shower and toilet along the corridor.

3-berth compartment


Shared 3-berth compartment. Shower and toilet along the corridor.

Couchette


Shared 6-berth couchette, with toilet and washing facilities in the corridor.
There are also special compartments for women. Facilities can vary on certain routes.

Seating


Most SJ overnight trains on domestic routes have standard second class carriages.

BerlinNight Express

You arrive to Berlin or Malmö early in the morning, after a night in a comfortable sleeping- or couchette car. The journey has followed a classic route without the stress of the airport or the miles long congestions on the Autobahn. Instead you have had the option of enjoying a good breakfast in your compartment and are well fitted for a new day.

Beverages and light meals can be ordered and served in the compartment. During the ferry-crossing Trelleborg-Sassnitz hot meals are also available. In the morning breakfast is served at a reasonable price.

Sleeping car(1 or 2 beds in each compartment)

The sleeping car is our most comfortable alternative. Here you will find a spacious compartment with a Swedish quality bed (known as DUX). All compartments are also equipped with individual adjustable air condition. Some of our compartments even have a shower.

Couchette(6 beds in each compartment)

The couchette cars are very popular among our budget-minded customers. Still they offer every prerequisite for a good night's sleep. Sheets, blankets and a pillow are included.
