VR night train (Finland)

The VR night train offers seats as well as private sleeper compartments. In the double-deck sleeping cars, the simpler sleeper compartments are usually located downstairs and have their own washbasin. The more comfortable compartments are upstairs and also have a private shower and private WC. Depending on the train, there may also be pet compartments, accessible sleeper compartments and, on some routes, older sleeping cars.

VR lists sleeper compartments from EUR 49. A sleeper compartment with a private shower starts from EUR 74. Important: the price is for the compartment, not per person. Actual prices depend on the route, travel date, demand and booking time.

The lower sleeper compartment in the double-deck sleeping car has beds and its own washbasin. The shower and WC are located in the car. The upper sleeper compartment also has a private shower and private WC directly inside the compartment. If you want to travel as comfortably as possible, you should book the upper compartment with shower and WC.
