Canadian : Aren’t bathroom and washroom the same thing? They are here, so I am curious what the difference is there.

After visiting Berlin, Germany, the best idea is to take a quick one-day trip to Poznań or Wrocław, which are close to Berlin.

Nice video showing more of beautiful New Zealand more beautiful then Tauranga

Would you do it again?

Great journey and great video!! 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂Greetings from Sweden!! :)

Aww my partner and I took this train from and to Stockholm last year so we could bring our dog with us on holidays comfortably instead of taking the plane. So a big plus is that you can travel in this train with your pet, the only condition is that you need to book the whole cabin (just like you did) for you, no matter the size of your party. There was a special code we were able to use to reduce the price of the cabin, something hidden in their website and related to travelling with a pet, but I can't remember what it was exactly. Overall it was quite comfortable, the dog had time to do lil pee breaks whenever the train stopped. We bought a lot of snacks and drinks and just enjoyed the ride, staring at the beautiful view :) (super nice to see you in Europe, I started following this channel last year to help me plan my trip to New Zealand and your advice helped a lot, we had the time of our life in NZ earlier this year :D )

nice video!

Did any of the locals tell you that’s not the most crooked street in SF? So it couldn’t possibly be the most in the world…

That "palace" was always intended to be an elderly care home. The turn of the century from 19th to 20th was just a time for making everything pompous.

It is not a sleeper wagon (sovvagn) but a couchette (liggvagn) which is basic standard. Heard to believe how the restaurant table can be occupied all night, the train was not full

It’s to bad you didn’t visit when the fire breathing dragon was still operating in the theatre

I live right by this mall , it’s novelty wears off so fast 😂

The Cafe Sten Sture has an interesting history. In 1792 the king Gustav III was killed by a man called Jacob Johan Anckarström. He was found guilty and was held imprisoned in the dungeon until he was hanged. The dungeon is part of todays Cafe Sten Sture.

Could the bed have been made a bit more comfortable by adding a mattress from one of the other bunks? Princess & the Pea sort of thing. 😉 If I don’t have ear plugs, I tend to pull a pillow over my head to block out noises, so that could be a thing to try in future. 😊

Sailing solo with a thousand other people?

an eco friendly trip as it will thin your wallet and leave your pockets with a whole bunch of fresh air

One of the nicer train cabins and overnight trains I've seen. I'm not at all claustrophobic so its relatively small size seemed perfectly fine to me, along with the really cute and efficient bathroom with shower (actually gives me some ideas for a camper van I've been building in my imagination). Plus something about train travel in winter with snow all around and everything lifeless and frozen just seems right. In summer there's this urge to stop the train and get out at every turn, especially on more scenic routes. But in winter it's so cold and desolate that you feel lucky to be inside all snug and warm. I've traveled by train in both seasons and think I prefer winter. Of course it was in the Rockies and Cascades, which helps.

I want an emotion Chloe moment 😂 I’m gonna attempt it but so far the content is in my home base state but travel content is my absolute favorite

I love a good train video. The dining car was a stange thing though. But hey 6 waters! what more could you ask for!

Great video! I can tell how much effort went in to shooting it :) Can't wait to see your take on Berlin.

9:54 the ~40 euros is for the annual pass. A single ticket for adults is between 18 and 25 euros depending on the season. (kids are around 8 euro)

We have travelled from Malmö to Stockholm a few times, leaving about 2200 and arriving around 0600. Only ever sharing a compartment, though, the 4999 you paid was for up to 6 people! So around 780 a head which sounds much more affordable. I think it was nearer 600 for our shorter journey. Females travelling alone are booked in female only compartments.

I spent a lot of time there when I was staying with a host family near Edmonton in my teens. That was... Almost 25 years ago. The funniest moment was when the parents told me to look for a gray minivan at the parking lot. There were thousands 😅 P.S. Keep your legs crossed in the fast water slide

As a Finn I'm pleased to observe that Swedish trains are sub-standard in comparison to ours! 🤪

Great video. But as a Swede I feel little ashamed about this train, we have so much better trains inside Sweden, they should use a new train with showers, flexible restaurant, of course showers, maybe a cinema, its a very long ride and people need comfort and entertainment.

The suite looks very nice. I've been on this ship a thousand times since the early nineties, and the highest deck I've ever gotten to stay on is 7. Not as fancy in the steerage below the car deck 😅 The same thing with Silja Line. I used to love Europa and Serenade for the promenades.

The rye bread you had with salmon is sweet rye malt bread known as black bread, I believe, around the Baltic Sea. It's good stuff but most Finns eat the sour and hard or sour and soft kind.

The elderly care home is interesting. Many years ago a russian ship cam to Stockholm amd it may not have had proper maps. The Captain thought he was looking at the Royal Castle so he shot salute. It probably scared those that were there

Overpriced imo. Having to order your meals when you book and no staff to help make up your bed are turn offs. The snacks that you managed to purchase were also sub par. An overnight train without showers? Accessible cabins and bathrooms??

pucko looks odly similar to the danish cocio (resarched quickly on google and its because cocio bought pucko in 2005 and its produced in denmark)

Thanks for an interesting video! Snälltåget came about by buying 40+ years old German coaches. Which seems quite obvious from watching your video. The coaches in themselves seem to be of the same quality as when I travelled around on a euro train card in 1974. The SJ (the Swedish state-owned rail company) also runs trains between Stockholm and Berlin. That would have made for an interesting comparison.

Enjoyed your video. I’ll be visiting Greenland and Iceland next month. Qaqortoq is on the itinerary. Now the town will look a little familiar. I understand our ship provides bug nets to wear over a hat.

Absolutely adore Cesar's, as I do your incredible travel vlogs ! Way to go lovely, all the very best from Vancouver island. Cheers 🌲🍁🌲

Oh, and if one can afford it, definitely a private compartment, but ideally not like the one here which is basically a 6 person compartment that has seats during the day and couchettes at night, only all to yourself. Rather, one with at least a wash basin and hopefully an en suite bathroom with toilet and shower, meaning a real sleeping compartment. I mean if you're going to splurge and spend close to $500, you should get all that for it. In this situation I probably would have gone for a regular couchette because that IS a lot of money to spend just to have a couchette compartment for yourself--all the more so given that they attendant didn't even make up the bed. But I have no idea what deluxe compartments cost on overnight trips in Europe these days. They're a small fortune here in the US and no way could I afford one these days.

As a Swede, having to reserve a table in the restaurant car is a huge culture shock to me. Never heard about that practice before, and it's definitely not the norm... I know that some SJ-trains in Sweden require you to book meals in advance if you want to be served a warm meal by your seat in first class (on trainrides up to about 3 hours travel time), but never having to pre-book seats in restaurant cars on longer routes.

$500 and no a/c? Little steep for me but looked awesome

Yes. Way too expensive for me too. But very good video.

This is so funny. You watching a @FlyingTheNest video here while i actually found your channel through watching their traveling vlogs

Hate to say it, but this train makes the VR overnight train to Rovaniemi look like the Orient Express. Also not sure why you needed your passport stamped when travelling from one Schengen country to another, through a third Schengen country.

It is NOT super obvious that you have to pre-book a table in the restaurant on the train... speaking as a swede that actually works as a train driver I had no idea this was a thing.

Hey Chloe! This was a fun, and informative, but also puzzling vid. So nice to see an old-school train car still doing good service (though, another commenter, 57thorns, did an excellent assessment of your not a/c probs to which I would only add that a multi-lingual sticker (saying, "no A/C, only heat -- open the flerkin' window!) would have been helpful?) And the whole dining car thing IS ON THEM! They did NOT seem to include this MOST important page 1, but was on a later page? Not your fault. And I thought it was telling that you had to take a nap halfway through deploying your bunk!😂 The reason bunks are deployed by stewards in North America and elsewhere is that if you accidentally crush a finger, or fall out of an improperly set-up bunk -- it, esprin the US, would lead to mucho dinero in injury compensation. Apparently, the Scando-Germanics are employing a "Midsommar" style of self-survival?🤔 Still loved the trip and the vid, and Ludwig would have been sardined in one of those bunks!💕

It's expensive considering what you got or experience in this sleeper train. No shower, cabin is full of dust. It should've atleast came with breakfast

No Ludwig? UNlucky Ludwig!

Thanks for the heads up about people who can’t travel. I am 67 and disabled so your adventures allow me to travel and see everything through your eyes. Thanks for that!🙂

As a Swede, I am almost embarrassed by the non-existent service and low standard of the Swedish train network. One would therefore think that the ticket was cheap at least, which I don't think it was.

Legend has it that the red colour of the Viking Line ships was taken from a lipstick belonging to a wife of one of the shipowners. The hue was called "Mexican Fire"...

I love overnight trains, so long as, of course, I have a lie flat sleep situation. The only two downsides to it are that it can be hard to fall and stay asleep and get a good night's sleep, and you miss all the scenery you pass through at night, assuming that there is any as some routes are pretty ordinary. Otherwise, there's nothing quite like an overnight train--especially if you have your own compartment, even better if it has an en suite!
