"We saw a chance to keep an important connection alive, a journey that brings Paris and Berlin closer again. Individuals could become a co-owner from €280 and help bring this night train to life."
"Services will leave Paris from Gare du Nord at 5.45pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, call at Aulnoye-Aymeries, Mons, Bruxelles Midi/Brussel Zuid, Liège-Guillemins, Hamburg Harburg, and arrive at Berlin Hauptbahnhof at 9.59am on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Mondays."
"Night trains in Europe are enjoying a resurgence especially among young people concerned about the environmental impact of flying. But there has been concern over whether slow services running at night can be economically viable."
European Sleeper, a Belgian-Dutch operator, will launch a new overnight rail service between Paris and Berlin on March 26, 2026, replacing routes previously scrapped when French government funding was cut. The service operates three times weekly, departing Paris at 5:45pm and arriving in Berlin at 9:59am, with return journeys on alternate days. The route includes stops at Aulnoye-Aymeries, Mons, Brussels, Liège, and Hamburg. Tickets start at €39.99, with sleeping compartments from €139.99. European Sleeper has raised €5.5 million through fundraising campaigns and offers co-ownership opportunities from €280. Night trains are experiencing renewed interest, particularly among environmentally conscious travelers seeking alternatives to flying.
