Ten months after the first ride from Brussels to Berlin, European Sleeper introduces new stops in Dresden, Bad Schandau, and Prague. The night train now connects four countries and four European capitals. Even Paris and London are well connected with a single transfer in Brussels.
The Dutch-Belgian night train operator European Sleeper is part of the movement that put night trains in Europe back on the map. Trains offer an attractive alternative to other modes of transportation and produce up to 28 times less greenhouse emissions than planes, for example. Another significant benefit of night trains is their ability to transform lengthy distances into a mere overnight journey, allowing passengers to travel efficiently as they sleep.
“We are truly thrilled to be launching the new route to Prague less than a year after launching our first direct service from Brussels to Berlin,” said Elmer van Buuren, Co-Founder, of European Sleeper. “Our goal is to add a new route each year so we can continue to contribute to a more integrated and sustainable European transportation network and we’re proud to offer these incredible new destinations to travellers in Europe and beyond.”
The new service connecting Brussels, Dresden, and Prague is available for booking with fares starting at €49 for a seat and €79 for a couchette in a shared compartment. In parallel, European Sleeper has been able to secure improved rental carriages. These couchette carriages will significantly increase the comfort and travel experience of the night train passengers.
In its continuing effort to expand its destination offering, European Sleeper is working on the launch of a new route connecting Amsterdam, Brussels, and Barcelona to debut in 2025 or 2026. This route was selected by the European Commission as one of ten pilot projects to improve European cross-border rail connection.
