WORLDBUSINESS INSIDER
I slept in private rooms on overnight trains in the US and Europe. The experiences were completely different, but I'd book both again.
A Business Insider reporter compared private overnight train experiences on Nightjet in Europe and Amtrak in the US. The 11-hour Nightjet trip from Venice to Vienna cost $200, while the 53-hour Amtrak California Zephyr journey from Chicago to California cost $2,200. Despite differences in duration, cost, and amenities, both trips were deemed worth it.
