Sleeper rooms
First and standard class sleeper rooms are well-equipped for a good nights sleep. The Caledonian Sleeper has recently changed their sleeper accommodation options, in advance of new sleeper compartments arriving in spring 2019.
Now there are three different types of sleeper rooms:
- Club Solo: First class single rooms
- Classic Solo: Standard class single rooms
- Classic Twin: Standard class twin rooms
Note:
- It’s no longer possible to book one bed in a shared twin room. Single travellers must book either a Club Solo or Classic Solo room
- While the sleeping arrangements and names have changed, the sleeper compartments themselves are exactly the same (until the new sleepers roll out in spring 2019)
- Furthermore, at the time of writing (December 2018), the Caledonian Sleeper website has not updated their content to reflect the new room arrangements
All Caledonian Sleeper rooms have:
- Comfortable beds with sheets, duvets and pillows
