A new era of comfortable overnight travel begins with the timetable change:
The latest generation of Nightjet trains now connects Zurich and Basel directly with Hamburg – more modern, sustainable, and comfortable than ever before. Traveling to northern Germany becomes an experience that starts the moment you board.

Technology that makes your journey even more enjoyable

The new generation of Nightjet trains offers a range of technical upgrades to make your journey even more enjoyable. Free Wi-Fi lets you browse, stream, and read with ease via the ÖBB OnBoard portal Railnet night – including access to digital newspapers and magazines.

A modern passenger information system keeps you updated on your travel progress at all times. For your electronic devices, you'll find not only standard power outlets but also USB ports and wireless charging stations. New mobile-friendly windows improve signal reception, ensuring more stable network connections.

Each compartment features a control display with convenient comfort functions such as lighting control and a service call button for onboard staff. Access is managed via an electronic entry system using NFC cards, and all carriages are equipped with video surveillance – providing an added sense of security throughout your journey.

Nightjet Travel Classes

Nightjet offers various travel classes tailored to your individual needs.

Traveling in a sleeper cabin has never been more pleasant: each compartment features its own toilet and shower facilities. A cozy seating area invites you to relax, work, read, or enjoy a meal. Fixed beds in both the sleeper and the new 4-berth couchette compartments ensure optimal sleeping comfort – so you arrive refreshed at your destination.

Solo travelers can enjoy maximum privacy in the innovative Mini Cabins. These compact spaces offer all the essentials for an undisturbed overnight journey. For cycling enthusiasts and winter sports fans, the new multifunctional carriage provides practical bike racks and extra storage space for luggage, skis, and snowboards.

Passengers with reduced mobility also travel comfortably: a modern, barrier-free couchette compartment and a wheelchair-accessible toilet are easily accessible thanks to low-floor entry.
