European Sleeper marks successful launch of Paris – Brussels – Berlin night train with first departure from Paris

European Sleeper marked the launch of its new Paris – Brussels – Berlin night train with a departure event at Gare du Nord in Paris.  We can’t wait to try this out, as we have booked spaces for this summer.

Guests from across the rail sector, public institutions, and the wider travel community gathered to witness the
return of this direct overnight connection between the three cities.

The following morning, the train
was welcomed by officials and partners at Berlin Hauptbahnhof. Chris Engelsman and Elmer van Buuren (founders of European Sleeper) in front of the Paris-Berlin night train.

As the train departed from the majestic Gare du Nord in Paris at 18:03, it quietly re-established a route that had almost disappeared from Europe’s rail network, offering travellers once again the possibility to fall asleep in Paris and wake up in Berlin, and the other way around.

The route forms part of European Sleeper’s growing network of night trains across Europe, including the existing Brussel-Amsterdam-Berlin-Prague route and the
night train to Milan from September 2026.

The Paris–Berlin service will operate three times per week, bringing the total to six departures per week in each direction between Brussels and Berlin.

Comfort and choice onboard

On the Paris–Berlin night train, European Sleeper offers its familiar travel classes. Fares start from €39.99 for
a comfortable seat. A bed in a Classic couchette compartment is available from €59.99, including reservation,
luggage, and bed linen.

For more comfort, travellers can choose Comfort Standard from €99.99 or Comfort
Plus from €129.99, including breakfast. This range makes the journey accessible, whether travelling on a budget or with a preference for more space and ease.
