The Berlin-Paris sleeper train, which ceased operations in December 2025, is resuming passenger transport between the two capitals.
ÖBB and SNCF discontinued the night train service on this route, which was only launched in 2023, in the middle of December 2025. According to the latest news, the European Sleeper is set to begin service between the French and German capitals on 26 March.
Trains will operate almost daily: from Paris on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, and from Berlin on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The journey takes about 18 hours, departing from Paris at 6:03 p.m. CET and arriving in Berlin the next morning at 9:03 a.m. CET. The return leg departs Berlin at 6:31 p.m. CET, arriving back in Paris at 10:58 a.m. CET.
Prices start at €79.99 one way for a place in a shared cabin, and women-only cabins are also available. Private cabins can also be booked from €279.99.
The Dutch-Belgian railway company European Sleeper launched its first sleeper train route between Berlin and Brussels in 2023. Since then, the route has been extended to Dresden and Prague. Stops along the route include Aulnoye-Aymeries in France, as well as Mons, Brussels and Liège in Belgium. From July this year, the train will also stop in Hamburg.
In September 2026, European Sleeper is expected to launch a service between Brussels and Milan with stops in Liège, Cologne, Zurich and Como. Routes from other operators due to launch this year include a service between Prague and Copenhagen via Berlin, and between London Euston and Stirling in Scotland.
