The Night Train
The Night Train Malmo – Berlin offers travel in couchette coaches. Sleeping accommodation is available in a 6-bed couchette. Sheets, blankets and pillows are provided. You can choose to book a berth in a shared compartment (Berth in Couchette) or the whole compartment (Private Compartment).
Not only is the night train is the only direct train link from Germany to Sweden but it also offers a unique travel experience as part of the journey involves the train traveling onboard a ferry across the Baltic Sea between Trelleborg – Sassnitz, where we travel with Stena Line train ferry FS Sassnitz. The journey with the ferry takes four hours and you can stay on the train during the ferry crossing or visit restaurants and shop on the ferry.
The train timetable has to adjust to the ferry timetable. Therefore, on the way to Berlin, the night train (train number 301 or 303) will stand still in the port of Sassnitz for a few hours. On the way to Malmö, the night train (train number 300) will remain onboard the ferry at the port of Trelleborg for a few hours, all according to our timetable. During this time it is not possible to exit or enter the train. There is always a Snälltåget team member available onboard, to answer any questions you may have.
