Sleeper cars on night trains are an increasingly popular travel option since they offer a sustainable and convenient alternative to flying. RegioJet currently has sleeper cars on two routes (in both directions):
There are three types of sleeper car reservations on RegioJet trains:
Below you will find detailed information about the different types of reservations and what amenities they include.
This is a practical, low-cost option for those looking for the sleeper train experience without breaking the bank. A couchette car can sleep six passengers, with three beds stacked vertically on each side of the car. There are no permanent seats in a couchette, but two of the lower beds can be tucked up to reveal a daytime banquette, where you can sit, eat, or chat.
Couchette cars include the following amenities:
Note: Unoccupied beds in your couchette will be filled by other passengers of either gender. If you do not want to share a sleeper car with people you don’t know, consider booking a private compartment for yourself (or your group).
This is the most spacious sleeper car option. A berth has 3 to 4 beds and banquette seating on one side, providing an extra boost of flexibility and comfort.
Here are the max berth capacities for the different RegioJet train routes:
Note: Unoccupied beds in your berth will be filled by other passengers of either gender. If you do not want to share a sleeper car with strangers, consider booking a private compartment for yourself (or your group).
Berths include the following amenities:
When you book a private compartment you are reserving an entire berth for yourself and/or your group.
You can book a private compartment for more than one person, but the max capacity depends on the route:
If you book the compartment for less than the berth’s max capacity, the unoccupied beds will be left unfilled.
A private compartment contains the following amenities:
Tip for Groups: Passengers on the same booking will be placed in the same sleeper car whenever possible, but it is not guaranteed. Depending on space and availability, your group may split into separate cars.
Tip for female travelers: If you don’t feel comfortable sharing a mixed-gender sleeper car, we suggest booking a private compartment.

Note: These rules only apply to train travel in the Czech Republic. If you are traveling internationally we highly recommend emailing [email protected] for more detailed guidance. Always research international regulations for the transport of animals before beginning your journey.
On the majority of RegioJet trains, including all RJ trains, bikes and scooters are not allowed. Small, non-electric push scooters can be brought on board as long as they can be stowed safely above your seat.
Bicycles are allowed on just two RegioJet train routes: R8 (Brno-Přerov-Ostrava-Bohumín) and R23 (Ústí nad Labem–Litoměřice-Mělník-Kolín). On these routes, passengers must pay 30 CZK to reserve a place in a dedicated bike carriage, and the bike must be placed on a rack. Space in these carriages is limited. Special restrictions apply so we recommend contacting RegioJet’s help hotline (+420 222 222 221) before transporting a bike on these routes.
With most RegioJet train tickets, you can cancel or change your ticket free of charge up until 15 minutes before departure. Cancellation and exchange policies vary depending on the RegioJet ticket type. We suggest checking the T&Cs of your ticket prior to purchase.

Unaccompanied children must also buy a full-priced adult ticket to be able to travel.
