Our ambitions for 2026

1) New routes

We’re working hard behind the scenes to bring a new route to life. Think: Barcelona... or maybe Milan. Stay tuned!

2) Better coaches

We’re not just adding lines to the map, we’re reinventing the experience onboard. A new route means better coaches.

3) Tour packages

To make train travel more accessible to a broader audience, we’re launching our own in-house tour operator as an additional service.

Our ambitions for 2026

We are operating a night train Brussels -Amsterdam - Berlin - Prague for more than 2 years now.

Our cooperative

In 2021, European Sleeper was founded by Elmer van Buuren and Chris Engelsman. A cooperative model was chosen since the company was established and financed by a broad community of night train enthusiasts. Through two investment rounds, European Sleeper has attracted €2.5 million in equity from more than 1,700 small and medium-sized private investors. Now over €5 million has been raised, by nearly 4000 investors! This allowed European Sleeper to make an exceptionally fast start. Moreover, a unique European railway company has emerged, which is entirely community-owned.
