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.
Accommodation ranges from individual seats in coaches to shared compartments with up to six berths and private compartments for small groups. All beds include bedding and blankets.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
