For those looking to travel overnight without the high cost of luxury options, several budget-friendly sleeper train services are available across Europe and the UK. European Sleeper reintroduced the Paris to Berlin night train connection in March 2026, with prices for a one-way ticket in a shared compartment beginning at €69.99 (£60).
Looking ahead, Berlin-based startup Nox aims to launch overnight trains in Europe from 2027, providing an affordable alternative to short-haul flights. Single rooms on these services are expected to start from €79 (£67).
In the UK, the Night Riviera, which connects London Paddington to Penzance, offers sleeper berths as an additional supplement starting from £49 for a single cabin. The Caledonian Sleeper, linking London to the Scottish Highlands, also provides more basic seating options ranging from £54 to £100.
Other European options include ÖBB Nightjet, with fares for a couchette in a six-berth starting at €19.90 (£17.30), and VR Finnish Railways, where private cabins on the Helsinki to Rovaniemi route start from €49 (£43).
