There currently are a variety of options to travel by night train from Norrköping (Sweden) to Berlin (Germany), taking between approximately 14 and 16 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.
In shared and private compartments, seats convert to berths at night. Each compartment features three berths on each side with ladders to reach the upper berths. Private compartments are ideal for groups seeking more privacy.
Animals are permitted in private compartments only. Bikes are not allowed, but collapsible bicycles can be transported as hand luggage or stored on luggage racks.
The Swedish Railway SJ operates night trains daily throughout Sweden, covering long distances and serving remote areas.
The night trains include seating cars, couchettes, and sleepers. The sleeper cars provide compartments for two or three people as well as single compartments. Some routes also offer Deluxe compartments with private bathroom facilities and shower.
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.
