European Sleeper: the company that connects Europe by night train
European Sleeper is a young independent Belgian-Dutch railway company with a clear mission: putting night trains back at the heart of european mobility. Its ambition? To offer a comfortable, sustainable and affordable alternative to air travel, reconnecting Europe's major cities by rail.
Their first bet was launched in the spring of 2023: the Brussels-Prague night service via Amsterdam and Berlin.
And the adventure doesn't stop there: European Sleeper continues to expand its network, with the long-awaited opening of a new night liaison P aris-Berlin (March 2026).
Objective: bring back the magic of the night train to modernize our offer, offer comfortable cabins, and enable everyone to travel far... without exploding our carbon footprint.
