Does my Eurailpass cover ferry crossings or trains such as the Eurostar (i.e. the train that goes from London to Paris through the Chunnel)?
Certain ferry lines do allow rail pass holders free or discounted travel. Routes covered include Ireland-France, Italy -Greece and Germany-Sweden-Finland.
The rail pass does not cover travel on the Eurostar, however, the ticket can be purchased at a discount when proof of a validated Eurail pass is shown at a ticket office in the train station.

Train Tip
A Eurail Select pass will cover border cities, even if the country is not on the pass. For example: although Salzburg is in Austria, you could use your Selectpass to get there from Germany (but not Italy, since it lies close to the German border).
