Sleepers boast beds with duvets and pillows and sometimes even a private bathroom. Couchettes can hold up to six people.

What amenities do sleeper cars offer?
Sleepers sometimes include a private bathroom or even a shower, sometimes only a sink. The Mini Cabin offers a more affordable private alternative with its own compact sleeping space for one person.
