The new generation of Nightjets: Mini Cabins starting at € 75
ÖBB is operating brand new night train compositions on several lines. The prices are now known.

In case you haven't heard, the days of outdated coaches with constantly failing air conditioning, toilets or heating seem to be over.
Well, at least on two connections: As of the 2023/2024 timetable change, namely on 10 December, the new-generation Nightjets will be running between Hamburg <> Vienna and Hamburg <> Innsbruck. You can look up the prices for these connections on nightride.com.
A highlight are the so-called mini cabins, which are somewhat reminiscent of Japanese capsule hotels and are designed to offer more privacy. Good news: there are still many money-saving offers for the next few weeks, with mini cabins often available from just € 75 or € 77.
Maybe an inexpensive and climate-friendly way to escape to the mountains over Christmas/New Year? The normal prices (without a discount card) are around twice as high at around € 150.
If you are travelling as a couple, you can get a double room with a shower and private toilet («Schlafwagen Comfort Plus») for € 215 or € 218 per person without a discount. However, there are already fewer discounts on offer here. Somewhat cheaper are the variants without a shower (who needs that anyway?): Double compartments are available from € 194 and € 197 for Hamburg <> Vienna and Hamburg <> Innsbruck respectively.
If you want to know more about the new Nightjets and all the different comfort categories, you can find a detailed Q&A at zugpost.org.
Have fun giving the new Nightjets a try!
