I'm helping my daughter and her friends plan a trip to Europe this summer as their HS graduation trip. In researching prices for train travel from Amsterdam to Rome using eurorailways.com, it appears that a point-to-point ticket for travel in the daytime, 2nd class is $235 pp. However, the cost for a sleeper, double cabin, is $76 pp, and a couchette is $39 pp. This is a huge difference which makes me think I'm missing something. Can anyone shed any light on these prices? Is this right or should I add the two prices together? Thanks for your help!

Hi Amanda,
You add the price of the sleeper or couchette to the ticket fare.
Have you looked at www.railsaver.com for prices?
Amsterdam/Rome is quite a trip with several changes of train. Have you checked on flights within Europe? Ryanair has a price of about $13.00 each way from London Stansted to Rome.
Thanks, Ira. I'll check out both options. thanks!
Virgin Express will start a daily flight Amsterdam - Rome on March 30. Keep an eye on their website, for sure they'll have some cheap sale coming up.
