Rail Europe has added Portuguese national rail operator Comboios de Portugal (CP) to its B2B platform, expanding its Iberian offering in response to demand from travel trade partners.
The integration means travel agents can now book Portuguese rail services through Rail Europe's API and Rail Portal, using the same channels available for other European train journeys.
The offering includes CP's Alfa Pendular premium long-distance trains, Intercidades services and Regional and InterRegional connections, providing coverage across the country, including the popular Lisbon-Porto corridor and smaller regional destinations.
Tickets are generally released up to 60 days before departure, although booking windows depend on timetable publication dates and may be shorter around the annual timetable change in December.
It joins Rail Europe's existing Iberian portfolio, which already features Spanish operators Renfe, iryo and OUIGO Spain, giving agents access to a broader range of rail products across Portugal and Spain.
The addition also opens up opportunities for agents to build more varied itineraries beyond Portugal's main tourist hubs.
