As of May 27, 2025, ÖBB has put its new-generation Nightjet trains into operation on routes between Vienna and Amsterdam, as well as Innsbruck and Amsterdam. The maiden departure was held in Vienna, attended by representatives from Austrian ministries, ÖBB management, diplomatic offices, and the European Commission’s Vienna delegation.
The service introduces updated rolling stock intended for overnight connections between Austria and the Netherlands, continuing the operator’s expansion of international night train operations across central Europe.
Timetabled connections and booking details
The Vienna–Amsterdam and Innsbruck–Amsterdam lines are now operated with the new seven-car Nightjet sets. Pricing under ÖBB’s “Sparschiene” scheme starts at €34.90 for a standard seat. Couchette places and single-occupancy Mini Cabins are offered from €54.90. A berth in a sleeping car compartment is available from €99.90.
Bookings can be made via nightjet.com, ÖBB’s online ticket shop, mobile app, station ticket counters, customer service, and authorized sales partners.
Rolling stock composition and passenger amenities
Each of the new Nightjet trains consists of:
- 2 seating cars (including a control car and a multifunction coach)
- 3 couchette cars
- 2 sleeping cars
Total capacity is 254 seats per train.
The multifunction coach features six bicycle spaces and additional room for larger luggage items, strollers, and sports gear.
The onboard offering includes Wi-Fi (via ÖBB Railnet night), an integrated passenger information system, standard sockets, USB and inductive charging points, and mobile-friendly window technology to improve cellular reception. Each compartment has a control unit for lighting and staff service calls. Access control is managed through NFC card systems, and all vehicles are fitted with video surveillance.
This deployment extends ÖBB’s night train operations to another major European corridor. The Vienna–Amsterdam and Innsbruck–Amsterdam services now complement existing routes to destinations such as Hamburg, Zurich, and Rome.
