In sleeping car comfort plus, passengers can enjoy a spacious compartment with two built in beds, comfortable seating and an in-suite bathroom with a shower. In cleeping car comfort branded rooms passengers can book a single or bunk bed style room with in-suite bathrooms and showers as well. Solo travelers can now have the option to sleep in a pod like structure named “mini cabin.” The mini cabin is equipped with sleeping pods, lockers for shoes and luggage as well as a folding table for breakfast.
