Europe train travel question: has anyone taken the train from Amsterdam to Copenhagen via Hamburg? The train gets loaded onto a ferry and sails to Copenhagen. The route also works in reverse. I've read all the information online but its still not clear the exact steps.

That looks cool. Using Google Maps' transit function it shows 4 trains and where they connect. 11 hour trip. I don't know specifics but this is where I would start.

Shows train numbers and platform numbers if you enter the right dates and times. Love that function for transit in Vancouver. No guessing.

I've done it, you disembark from the train and have full access to the ferry. You get back on the train before you dock on the other side. The biggest surprise for me was that there was no free wifi.

I'm not sure what you mean, I took the train from Copenhagen to Berlin and we did the ferry thing. I don't know what the train number or company was...

lol oh then how did u figure out how to do it? i read a site that had instructions in english but linked to a bunch of german sites to buy tickets and it would not translate well, nor were tickets available for April (to far in advance)? or maybe I could not understand properly the translations
oh the "google pictures" above I was refering to the posts that Brian posted above with pictures based on the google maps

I bought the tickets from the Eurorail website. When everyone started getting off the train at the ferry, I followed them. That's how I learned how to do it.....
