We are a group of eight 18-year-olds planning to use night trains this summer with SNCF Paris to Nice, OBB Florence to Vienna with our discover eu Interrail Pass. Three of us will not receive our passes until June, meaning we won’t be able to book our trains until then. Is there any way to reserve the night trains in advance while waiting for the passes? If not, do you think we have a good chance of securing eight spots in a couchette cabin if we book in early June?
Thanks!!

No, night trains are very popular and space limited, you will likely not be able to get what you want at short notice.
Couchettes come in 4 or 6 per cabin, book all passengers in one booking to have the best chance of getting allocated together, this is dependent on space being available.
It is possible to book most reservations before getting passes through various sites, OBB direct for nightjet and raileurope for SNCF, You should also compare with using standard tickets as not all options are available or cheaper with passholder reservations.
