Frequently asked questions about Vy night train (Norway)
What travel categories are available on the Vy night train?
On the Vy night train on the Bergen Line there are Standard seats, PlusNight, Rest and Sleeper. Standard is the regular seat. PlusNight is a lie-flat seat in its own privacy pod. Rest is a private 6-berth compartment with simple equipment. Sleeper is a private 2-bed sleeping compartment with washbasin and wake-up service.
What is PlusNight with Vy?
PlusNight is a modern night train category with lie-flat seats. The seat can be moved into a lying position at the press of a button. Screening and distance from other travellers give you more privacy than in the regular seating coach. PlusNight is ideal if you want to sleep better but do not need your own compartment.
What is Rest with Vy?
Rest is a private compartment with six berths and simple equipment. Sheets, pillows and blankets are included; you make the beds yourself. Rest is especially suitable for families and groups who want to travel together and stay overnight more cheaply than in a classic Sleeper compartment.
What does the Sleeper compartment with Vy offer?
The Sleeper compartment is a private 2-bed sleeping compartment. It has two berths with quality mattresses, blankets and pillows, plus washbasin, power sockets, towels, soap, drinking water and wake-up service. It is the most comfortable classic sleeping-car category on the Vy night train.
Does the Sleeper compartment have its own shower or WC?
No. The Sleeper compartment has its own washbasin, but no private shower and no private WC. Toilets are located on the train. If you want to shower in the morning, partner hotel offers may be interesting depending on ticket and destination.
How many people fit in a Vy Sleeper compartment?
Vy lists up to two adults and two children per sleeping compartment. For children aged four and over, Vy recommends their own bed. Children under six travel free of charge in the sleeping compartment.
Can I travel with a pet in Vy Sleeper?
No. Pets are not allowed in Vy Sleeper cars. If you travel with a dog, cat or another pet, you must choose a suitable category where pets are allowed and add the pet when booking.
Can I take a bicycle on the Vy night train?
Yes, bicycle transport is generally possible with Vy, but on long-distance trains requiring reservations the bicycle space must be booked in advance. For the Bergen Line, the bicycle must also be clearly labelled with destination, name and phone number. Folding bikes may be possible as hand luggage if they are folded and can be stored safely.
Are there Wi-Fi and power sockets on the Vy night train?
Power sockets are part of the equipment in the Sleeper compartment. Even so, you should charge important devices before the journey and bring a power bank. On the Bergen Line, the internet connection can fluctuate due to mountains, tunnels and sparsely populated regions. Download important content before the journey.
Is the Vy night train suitable for families?
Yes. Rest and Sleeper are especially interesting for families. Rest offers a private 6-berth compartment and is good for groups or families with several people. Sleeper is more comfortable and suitable for up to two adults and two children, although Vy recommends a separate bed for children aged four and over.
Is there breakfast on the Vy night train?
A general breakfast on board is not listed on the night train pages as a fixed included service for all categories. For PlusNight travellers, however, Vy mentions discounted breakfast offers at partner hotels in Oslo and Bergen. Drinking water is included in the Sleeper compartment.
What is the best category on the Vy night train?
If you really want to sleep, Sleeper is the best classic category. You have a private 2-bed compartment with washbasin, made-up beds, drinking water and wake-up service. If you travel alone and do not need a compartment, PlusNight is a very good modern alternative. For families and groups, Rest is often especially practical.
Is the Vy night train accessible?
Vy provides general information on accessible travel options and assistance. The actual accessibility depends on connection, rolling stock, station and the support needed. If you travel with a wheelchair or need assistance, you should check directly with Vy before booking which category and which train are suitable.
Can I take my car or motorcycle on the Vy night train?
No. The Vy night train on the Bergen Line is not a car train and does not transport cars or motorcycles. If you need a vehicle at your destination, you should check rental cars, car sharing, local buses or further rail connections.
