G'day,
Looking at your country members map, in green, the three baltic states are not included (Littunia, Estonia & Latvia)? Yet ferries from Helsinki to Tallin are included in the pass. Can you please confirm if those countries accept the Eurailpass.
Thanks and regards

Again a ´lost´one who a certain dr google has sent to an out-of-date and nearly dying site as this. The MUCH better and official site-why even ask that here?- is eurail.com. There is also attached a ´community´ with all the usual and mostly 1st-timer allthsame questions. Yes the 3 Baltics are included-as also now a few more of the local regional Polish operators, where most likely you also pass by. FERries only give discounts.
Do note that local fares in the Baktics are still quite low- a pass with passdays may cost more on a pro-day base. Plus that services are very, very sparse till nearly nil as most will want to pass by all 3. A BUS might be a much more efficient choice then. Go to seat61.com for more info and uptodate travel plans

Google does not send anyone here - otherwise we would be overrun with questions. They come from rail.cc and don't notice that the URL has changed when they click the link. If this forum has proper search tags in it's heading there might be more interest, although not int he garbled mess that nltrainer leaves..
To answer the question (just in case the poster does find the way back). The map is not ours. The real, official Eurail map is at https://www.eurail.com/content/dam/pdfs/Eurail-Map-2025.pdf and the detail is so poor it's not reliable. What is doesn't show is in the area of your interest is the extremely poor level of cross border services - or how to get on them. It's really not worth the trouble unless you are making one of those hell journey videos for Youtube.
I take it you are an Aussie. It might come as a shock to learn that you are looking at the next possible war zone. NATO are currently in the middle of major exercises in Lithuania to prepare for a Russian invasion, and the Russia-Belarus Pact is planning it's own exercise in September. The Eurail map shows the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad on the coast between Lithuania and Poland - and how small the gap between there and Belarus is. Poland already has a ban on photography of infrastucture. By late summer that EU/NATO bottleneck could be under something close to martial law.
