There currently are a variety of options to travel by night train from Stockholm (Sweden) to Berlin (Germany), taking between approximately 15 and 19 hours: Namely the 10301, the EN 13471, the 13471 and the EN 345. These lines are operated by Snälltåget, ÖBB, 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.
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 Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) operate the Nightjet and Euronight trains (the latter together with other national railway agencies).
The ÖBB usually offer four types of carriages in their night trains: seats, couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleepers.
Seats are for the bravest, while couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleepers provide a more comfortable journey. In the couchettes, you can find simple and rather narrow berths. The Mini Cabin is a compact sleeping option for solo travelers – two Mini Cabins can be combined for couples. Sleepers are equipped with proper beds and sometimes even a private bathroom. Couchettes can hold up to six people. The Mini Cabin is a private space for one person – two adjacent Mini Cabins can be connected for traveling together. Sleepers are private compartments for one to three people.
Sleepers may include a private bathroom or shower, or sometimes just a sink. The Mini Cabin bridges the gap between couchettes and sleepers, offering solo privacy at a lower price point.
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.
Couchette compartments accommodate up to six people. Bedding is provided including pillow, pillowcase, sheets and blanket. During the day, middle berths are folded up so lower berths can be used as sofas. You can choose between women-only, men-only, or mixed compartments. SJ offers limited couchette compartments where pets are allowed, and these must be booked as private compartments.
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.
Two sleeping car categories are available on board. The 1st class sleeper offers private compartments for up to three people with a private bathroom including shower and toilet; breakfast is included. The 2nd class sleeper has two-person compartments with a private washbasin and corridor toilets. These can be reserved privately or shared with other passengers in mixed or women-only compartments.
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.
As the most economical choice, the seating car offers compartments for up to six people and open-plan seating. Each seat comes with a power socket and an included reservation. Toilets can be found in the vestibules at the end of the car.
Breakfast is included for passengers in both 1st class and 2nd class sleeper compartments and is served directly to the compartment. Travellers in couchette and seating cars do not receive breakfast.
