The New Nightjet from Zürich and Basel to Hamburg
With the timetable change, a new era of night train travel begins: the new generation Nightjet now connects Zürich and Basel directly with Hamburg. More comfortable, modern, and sustainable than ever before – making the journey to northern Germany an experience that begins the moment you board.
The New Generation Nightjet – Comfort on Rails
The new Nightjet sets new standards for overnight train travel. These modern trains offer various comfort categories for every type of traveller: Mini Cabins for solo travellers and couples provide maximum privacy in a compact space – equipped with reading light, folding table, and storage. Comfort couchette cars are ideal for families and groups, featuring fixed berths, Wi-Fi, and individually adjustable lighting. For maximum comfort, sleeping compartments with private bathrooms and exclusive moonlight views are available. Barrier-free compartments ensure a relaxed journey for passengers with reduced mobility. High-quality materials, modern design, and thoughtful details create a true “hotel room feeling” on rails.
The Zürich/Basel – Hamburg Route: Relaxed Travel Overnight
Every evening, the Nightjet departs from Zürich and Basel, taking you directly to the heart of Hamburg overnight. The journey takes around 11 hours – plenty of time to rest and arrive refreshed in the Hanseatic city the next morning. Private compartments are especially popular with families and groups.
Sustainable Travel – Environmentally Friendly to Your Destination
The Nightjet is not only comfortable but also a sustainable alternative to flying. CO₂ emissions are significantly lower, and arriving directly in the city centre saves time and stress. For those who value eco-friendly travel, the Nightjet offers the perfect combination of comfort and environmental awareness.
Experience Hamburg – Arrive and Enjoy
Hamburg welcomes travellers with maritime charm, world-famous musicals, the Elbphilharmonie, and the historic Speicherstadt. A tip for train enthusiasts: the Miniatur Wunderland, the world’s largest model railway exhibition. After a restful night on the Nightjet, your day begins right in the centre of Hamburg – ready for new adventures.
