Hi there! 😊 That sounds like an exciting trip—Scandinavia is beautiful, especially in December! Let me guide you on seat reservations for your journey with a Eurail Pass:

1️⃣ Rovaniemi to Helsinki:

  • Finnish long-distance trains, like the ones on this route, require seat reservations. To reserve seats on VR (Finnish Railways) trains with your Eurail Pass, it's recommended to contact VR's customer service directly. More info here: Finland By Train | Finland Train Routes | Eurail.com

2️⃣ Bergen to Oslo:

  • For this scenic route operated by Vy, seat reservations are mandatory. As a Eurail Pass holder, you should book your seat via Entur's website or app. When searching for your journey, select the traveler type as "Interrail/Eurail Seat reservation" to get the correct fare.

3️⃣ Oslo to Stockholm:

  • This journey is operated by SJ trains, and reservations are required. You can book directly on the SJ website. Choose "Eurail Pass" as your ticket type when reserving.

4️⃣ Stockholm to Copenhagen:

  • Also operated by SJ, reservations are needed. Book your seat on the SJ website and select the appropriate pass option.

📝 Pro Tips:

  • Book your reservations as early as possible since holiday travel can be busy.
  • If you encounter any issues online, you can also reserve seats at the train station ticket counters.
