Unfortunately, the Jazz Night Express cannot run in 2020, due to the Corona virus situation. We are happy that we can confirm the dates for the new Jazz Night Express already: the weekend of 2 – 4 July 2021. We expect to have more or less the same program, as it was planned for this year. Ticket sales will resume later this year.
An experience for life
Traveling through the summer night together. In a proper night train with a classic dining car. New this year: theatre and spoken word. DJs all through the night. You’ll be rocked asleep in your compartment. Wake up slowly in the morning as we enter Berlin.
Saxophonist Benjamin Herman is one of the most original and productive jazz musicians in the Netherlands. He is well known exploring the edges of the jazz world. His fame started in the 90s with the groundbreaking ensemble New Cool Collective
“It felt like 3 days instead of 24 hours. Great atmosphere, great music, great people!”

Night Train
The Jazz Night Express is a statement for sustainable travel by the night train. Traveling by night train is comfortable, efficient and romantic. But since the end of 2016, regular night trains no longer run from the Netherlands. That’s why we fix our own night train.
The Jazz Night Express is a classical night train, cosy compartments and a great atmosphere. Fall asleep by the train’s cadence and slowly wake up while entering Berlin.
