Arrive early ready for a day of exploring
A sleeper journey has great advantages that just can’t be overlooked! Night journeys are a great way to cover a large distance without spending daylight hours traveling, and saving a night’s hotel cost. In Europe, many of the countries are so closely connected making travel relatively seamless; so seamless that you can sleep through the borders!
Depending on the train, passengers can select a sleeper compartment with one, two or four berths, six-person couchettes or seat accommodation. To travel in sleepers, a supplement can be purchased in addition to a rail pass or point-to-point ticket and must be reserved in advance.
