Data that survives the next station
Install at home. After the first landing, set holiday.com as mobile data. When the train enters the next country, you are not hunting for a new kiosk.
Europe eSIM
A Schengen rail trip dies on a single-country SIM the moment the train crosses. A Europe eSIM is a multi-country pass you install at home, so maps stay up when you change capitals.

One regional pass instead of a SIM in every capital
Country SIMs are for a stay in one place. A regional line is for the week that hops cities.
Read the country list before you pay
Checkout shows which countries sit on the Europe pass. Match that list to the route. Do not assume every flag on the map is included.
The UK is often its own plan
London may need a United Kingdom country eSIM. Open the coverage on portal.holiday.com if the itinerary mixes Schengen and the UK.
One checkout, then a regional line
Pay on portal.holiday.com. The profile installs in the browser. Confirm the country list on the plan you pick. How it works
1. Open Europe plans
The button opens checkout with Europe selected. Pick a pass whose country list matches the route, not just the first airport.
2. Pay in the browser
Apple Pay or card. No shipping. A QR or install link arrives when payment clears.
3. Install before the first departure
Scan on home Wi-Fi. On arrival, data roaming ON for holiday.com, OFF on the home SIM — then leave it that way at each border.
Europe eSIM — borders and coverage
Regional plans are not a guess. Check the list. Device tables stay on holiday.com.
Do I install the Europe eSIM in the first city?
Install at home. The plan attaches to networks in the covered countries when you arrive and turn data roaming on for holiday.com.
Is the United Kingdom on a Europe eSIM?
A Europe regional plan follows the country list at checkout. The United Kingdom is often sold as its own destination. Open the details on portal.holiday.com if London is on the trip.
Can I keep my usual number across Schengen?
On a dual-SIM phone, yes. Home SIM for calls and texts. Europe eSIM for data so the home carrier does not add roaming in each country.
Will any unlocked phone take a Europe eSIM?
It needs eSIM hardware — an EID next to the IMEI when you dial *#06# — and it must be unlocked. See Compatible devices.
Do I change roaming settings at each border?
No. Leave data roaming ON for holiday.com and OFF on the home SIM for the whole trip.
Can I buy the Europe pass months ahead?
Yes. You have a year from purchase to start. Starting on day 365 still gives the full duration.
Cross the first border with data already on.
Check the country list, pay on the portal, install at home, and keep maps when the train changes country.
