European Sleeper is growing!
In March 2024, we extended our Brussels-Berlin route to Prague and for winter 2025, we're introducing a new seasonal route to Innsbruck and Venice. This summer, our trains had double the average occupancy compared to last year and our overall revenue in 2024 will be more than double that of 2023 (based on the latest actuals). In parallel we are preparing to launch a new night train to Barcelona.
Start-up challenges
European Sleeper faces typical start-up challenges, with increased costs from the Prague extension and high overhead due to limited weekly operations.
Strong spring sales in 2024 have tapered off due to seasonal trends, and older rental coaches have caused reliability issues, raising compensation costs. These factors contribute to initial losses and liquidity constraints.
Bond loan conditions
1) 10% interest per year, paid monthly
2) Repayment in one lump sum in 36 months
3) Minimum investment of €2,500

Our plan from liquidity to profitability!
Improving short-term liquidity is crucial for European Sleeper, as it is enabling us to continue investing in growth and move towards profitable operations in the near future.
Six steps to move towards break-even in 2025:
1) Revenue management support > October 2024
2) Connecting more B2B partners & sales channels > February 2025
3) Enhancing website conversion rates > December 2024
4) More efficient digital marketing campaigns > December 2024
5) Reducing operational costs in BE/NL/DE > February 2025
6) Using more reliable rental coaches > October 2024
In parallel, we are preparing to attract an equity investor to support both our current operations and future growth plans. This move is essential to create additional capacity for growth starting early 2025.
