By 2035, Nox hopes to link over 100 cities across Europe, including Amsterdam, Paris, Rome and Barcelona. The company aims to turn overnight train journeys into a first-class way to travel.
The Berlin-based start-up is making sleeper trains cool again — and completely private.
Private and affordable
Scheduled to roll out in 2027, Nox aims to operate a sleeper train network across Europe with fully private cabins.
Forget bunking with strangers: every cabin will be either private single or double rooms, featuring armchairs, tables, storage space, beds long enough for actual humans (two metres!), and even panoramic windows.
The team already shared a preview of what the cabins will look like. 👇
And it won’t cost you a fortune. With prices starting at €79 for a solo cabin and €149 for a duo, it’s a real contender against short-haul flights — and a lot more fun than sitting in a middle seat next to someone eating tuna.
Who are the masterminds behind Nox?
A dream team: YouTuber Thibault Constant, who’s ridden over 400 night trains and built a following of 500K train fans, and Janek Smalla, who has co-launched FlixTrain, and until 2024 led the German ridesharing market for Bolt.

Together, they’re steering this premium-meets-practical travel revolution. And where do they plan on stopping? Below is Nox’s vision for the network.
Next stop: autumn 2025, when the team plans to secure financing and finalise those plush cabin designs.
