Hi - I am not quite sure of the night train sleeping berths - I understand about the couchettes v the sleepers - but there are 3 of us travelling and would like to not share with others in the cabin.

when I look at the OBB web site to look at booking through there, it only says that you can book a sleeper, but you may have people in it.  But then also says “book the whole compartment” but doesnt say how.

When i Iook at booking through Eurail reservations it says 3 x IRT sleep.single(shower.comp) - but I cant  find any explanation of what that exactly is.  When I refer back to the OBB website, I am assuming that is 3 berths in a sleeper - but how do you book a private sleeper?

 

Thank you for your advice.

You can't explicitly book a private sleeper, but you'll be booked into the same compartment if possible.

The best places to book this train are tickets.oebb.at and cd.cz. Add your pass as a discount. cd.cz will show before payment which place numbers you have, so you can see whether you're in the same compartment. In a sleeper, x1/x3/x5 or x2/x4/x6 are in the same compartment.

Here's an example:
