There currently are a variety of options to travel by night train from Lund (Sweden) to Berlin (Germany), taking between approximately 10 and 14 hours: Namely the 10301, the 13471 and the EN 345. These lines are operated by Snälltåget, SJ and RDC.
Snälltåget offers night travel with various comfort levels on night trains between European cities.
Snälltåget provides three options: budget seats in open coaches, berths in shared compartments for up to six people, and private compartments for groups. All berths include pillows, sheets, blankets and duvets.
Both shared and private compartments transform from day seating configuration to night bed mode. With three berths per side and ladder access to upper berths, private compartments offer the best option for groups.
Pets are only allowed in private compartments and must be registered during booking. Bicycles cannot be brought on the train, but folding bikes can be stored as hand luggage in the compartment or on luggage racks in the seating coach.
The Swedish Railway SJ operates night trains daily throughout Sweden, covering long distances and serving remote areas.
SJ night trains offer seats, couchettes, and sleeper cars. The sleeper cars feature various compartment types: for two or three people and single compartments. On some routes, Deluxe compartments with private bathroom and shower are also available.
All sleeper compartments at SJ are equipped with a washbasin. The Deluxe compartments additionally offer a private bathroom with shower.
The couchettes offer space for up to six people with access to provided bedding and toilets in the carriage corridor. The middle berths fold up during the day to create seating areas. Compartment options include women-only, men-only, or mixed assignments. Private couchette compartments are available for travelers with pets upon request.
RDC Deutschland operates the RDC Euronight night train between Berlin and Stockholm three times a week, with stops in Hamburg, Copenhagen and several Swedish cities along the way.
The train offers two sleeping car categories. In the 1st class sleeper, private compartments accommodate up to three people with wide, made-up beds, a private bathroom with shower and toilet, and breakfast served directly to the compartment. The 2nd class sleeper has two-person compartments with a washbasin and 230V socket in the compartment; the toilet is in the corridor. 2nd class sleeper compartments can be booked privately or shared — in mixed or women-only configuration.
Couchette compartments accommodate up to six people and can be booked privately or as individual berths. All berths come with a pillow, sheet, and blanket. Washrooms and toilets are available in the carriage.
The seating car is the most affordable option, offering compartments for up to six people as well as open-plan carriages. Power sockets are available at every seat and a seat reservation is included in the ticket price. Toilets are located in the vestibules at the end of the car.
Passengers in sleeping car compartments — both 1st and 2nd class — receive breakfast delivered to their compartment. Couchette and seating car passengers are not provided with breakfast.
