New three-city sleeper train launches in Europe with tickets from £22 and Brits can easily join
A BRAND-NEW sleeper train route has launched in Europe – and Brits can very easily hop onboard from Paris.
European Sleeper will connect three cities in 15 hours and you can spend the journey tucked up in a cosy cabin.
For anyone wanting city breaks without the fuss of taking flights, this is a great solution.
The sleeper train links Paris, Brussels and Berlin.
So anyone from the UK wanting to join the service can simply head to Paris Gare du Nord – which is where the Eurostar from London St Pancras gets in.
The sleeper service runs three times a week and one-way tickets from Paris to Brussels from £21.70.
If you do the whole journey, tickets can still be as little as £52.08.
The route departs on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
There are various different tickets available, the cheapest are for “like-minded people travelling on a budget”.
Literally called ‘budget’, passengers who opt for this option get a seat in a six person compartment which starts from €59.99 (£52.08) – for a one-way journey from Paris to Berlin.
A classic cabin is “ideal for small groups, families and solo travellers.”
It can seat up to five people and has compact couchette beds with sheets and blankets – it has private options available too.
One-way tickets start from €79.99 (£69.46)
Comfort cabins are, as the name suggests, more comfortable than the other two options.
It’s a three-person compartment with private options available if you want to travel in style.
It comes with a mattress, sheets, duvet and a separate seating area.
Sun Travel found one-way tickets from €119.99 (£104.21).
To add on breakfast, which is a hot drink, juice, yoghurt with granola and crackers with various toppings, it’s an extra €14.00 (£12.16).
The Comfort Plus cabins are the most premium, and also have three beds and a separate seating area.
Passengers also get towels, toiletries, breakfast, mineral water and a welcome drink included.
One-way tickets start from €159.99 (£138.95).
From July 13, 2026, a stop in Hamburg will be added to the route.
