Onboard Essentials
What to pack for a night train
Sleeper carriage walls are thin, storage is tight, and the light and noise are nothing like a hotel room. Each of these solves a specific overnight-rail problem.

Sleep
Mulberry Silk Eye Mask
Weighted pure mulberry silk contour — blocks corridor light completely without pressing on the eyes. Sleeper corridors stay lit until midnight and again from 6am.
Shop →Quiet
Active-Noise Sleep Earbuds
Noise-cancellation tuned for the low-frequency rail rumble that passive foam plugs miss, with a flat profile made for side-sleeping.

Warmth
Scottish Cashmere Cabin Blanket
Featherlight pure-cashmere throw, woven in Scotland — warm enough for an Alpine night, compact enough to stow in an overhead rack. Operator blankets vary wildly; bring your own.

Insider Packing Cubes (Set of 4)
Water-repellent compression cubes sized for VSOE and Nightjet overhead racks — reclaims roughly half your bag and keeps sleepwear separate for a seamless lights-out.
