How do I travel with the night train?
Boarding the night train is the start of your adventure. You can choose between different comfort levels, but if you travel together, you will have the best experience if you book a Private Compartment. During the evening you can socialise, play games or visit our restaurant Krogen ("The Pub").
Seat – the most affordable option
You have a reserved seat in a coach (open saloon). When travelling on your own – you get your own seat and if you're travelling together, you will get seats next to each other.
Berth in shared Compartment – for solo travellers
You share a compartment with other passengers - up to six persons. When you board, the compartment is in seat mode and when it is time for bed, you and the other passengers in the compartment turn the seats into berths. In night mode, there are three berths on each side of the compartment and you can reach the upper berths with a ladder. Pillows, pillowcases, sheets, blankets and duvets for making the bed are included in the price.
Shared Compartment is available for night time travellers.
Private Compartment – if you travel together
You have a private compartment for you or your company of up to six people. When you board, the compartment is in seat mode and when it is time for bed, you turn the seats into berths. In night mode, there are three berths on each side of the compartment and you can reach the upper berths with a ladder. Pillows, pillowcases, sheets, blankets and duvets for making the bed are included in the price.
Private Compartment is available for night time travellers.
Toilets
There are two toilets at the end of each coach, no matter the comfort level.
Power outlets
All our coaches have power outlets. They are placed on the wall, but there are fewer outlets than passengers. The effect of the electrical outlet is limited which means that they are made for charging for example your phone or computer. In Private Compartment there are only USB outlets.
Can I bring my bike or my pet?
You can bring your pet in a Private Compartment. Select "I want to travel with pet" under where you specify your passengers and select price level "Djurkupé" (Pets allowed compartment).
Bikes are not possible to bring on the train. If you have a folding bike and it could be put as a handl uggage in your compartment or on the luggage rack in the seating coach - it's possible.

Between Malmö and Berlin you can visit "Lönnkrogen" (The Little Pub) which is located in the train crews' compartment. Here we sell coffee, water, soft drinks, wine, beer and snacks.

On night trains, special rules apply for travel with a card that has a certain number of travel days during a certain period of validity (also known as Flexi Pass).
