I would like to travel to Berlin by train early December 2009. As I will be travelling from Durham in the North East of England I believe I have a couple of choices:
1) Ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam, then train direct from Amsterdam direct to Berlin.
2) Eurostar from London to Paris or Brussels, then train ideally direct to Berlin but may have to change at Koln, ideally I would like to travel direct to Berlin form either Paris or Brussels.
I dont mind a bumpy North Sea crossing but if seas are rough as they can be in December I can not afford to be delayed, through delayed ferry crossings or worse still cancellations.
Any ideas please? with few changes as possible.
Thanks

Hi ...
I think the option [b]Newcastle - Amsterdam by ferry[/b] and then by[b] night train CNL to Berlin[/b] is the best option.
You can already buy a single ticket or a reservation for the night train online - so you are sure to have your bed:

On the ferry you won't get a discount with InterRail.
The solution [b]London - Paris by Eurostar[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/london-to-paris[/u]
then continue by ICE to [b]Frankfurt[/b]: https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/france/fr
change to a free ICE train to [b]Berlin[/b] is the faster solution.
But maybe as well more expensive concerning supplements.
As well possible: [b]Eurostar London - Paris[/b], then [b]CNL night train Paris - Berlin[/b]:

Peter,
Thank you for your advice and prompt response, the ferry is very tempting, fingers crossed the North Sea will not be to rough.
Regards,
