There will also be the option for Comfort Standard and Comfort Plus sleepers which will have fewer beds per cabin as well as more bedding and in the most luxurious category, amenities such as welcome drinks and a breakfast service.
In Comfort cabins, there can be up to five people with the carriage featuring seats during the day and beds at night.
There will also be a table available during the day.
These cabins tend to be mixed gender, but there are women-only cabins available to book.
Each passenger will get a blanket, a sheet and a pillow and the bathrooms can be found in the corridor.
Bottled water can also be found in each cabin, but breakfast has to be added to your booking for an additional fee.
In comparison, a Comfort Standard cabin has three beds, each with a duvet.
There is also a small window table and a big fold up table.
And finally, in Comfort Plus cabins passengers will find a maximum of three beds and seats in addition.
Towels, toiletries, breakfast, mineral water and a welcome drink are all included as well.
A small lounge is also planned for the train, where passengers will be able to buy snacks and drinks.
The train will feature plug sockets and basic Wi-Fi as well.
However, the anticipated launch date of the train has been pushed back from June 18 to September 9, with tickets available to book from March 17.
