We are two adults (over 65 years old, man and woman). We want reservations for a deluxe sleeper (with WC and shower) on an overnight train, departing on July 17.

We have read that tickets for EN50467 Nightjet cost less than EN40459 Canopus. Is there any difference between these trains, other than schedule?

When do tickets become available for purchase? Is there an additional fee for reservations?

For American travelers, which web site has the best prices for purchasing tickets?

Hello. The train EN 40459 Canopus goes via Germany and travel time is longer (carrier Schweizerische Bundesbahnen SBB), the train EN 50467 NightJet goes via Austria, the travel time is significantly shorter and the carrier is: České dráhy, a.s. The Czech train is of course cheaper but service is similar. You can book tickets maximum of 180–90 days in advance, depending which train you want to book. Both trains can be booked directly on site, more information about both overnight trains can be found on site.
