New Sleeper Train to Launch Between Brussels and Malmö in 2028

The route will run three times a week and offer seats, couchettes and sleeper compartments as European Sleeper expands into Scandinavia with RDC.

  • European Sleeper announced a new direct night train service connecting Brussels and Amsterdam with Copenhagen and Malmö, set to begin operations in April 2028, marking the company's first route into Scandinavia.
  • German railway operator RDC will partner on the project, leveraging its experience operating night trains between Germany and Scandinavia to support the new Benelux-Sweden connection.
  • Departures are planned for 7pm with arrival at 10am the next day, running three times weekly and offering seats, couchettes for 3 to six people, and deluxe options "also being considered."
  • By linking Western and Northern Europe overnight, the route brings Copenhagen and Malmö within direct reach while enabling connections to London, Paris, Stockholm, and Oslo with one additional change.
  • Co-Founder Chris Engelsman described the expansion as a "natural next step," as European Sleeper continues preparations for a separate Brussels-Barcelona connection, also planned for 2028.
