This is the Venice Simplon Orient Express. It costs around €3000 per person for an overnight trip and a cabin from Paris to Venice.

That's a good (sad) point, people are creeps. Futon cubbies then? The seats on Amtrak are already adequate for sleeping anyway, so maybe we can stick with those. I just want more trains in the US 🥲
A lot of overnight trains will have very small private rooms which usually have either couchettes or actual little sleeper beds and these fold-down beds that are around the size of a submarine bunk, usually in 2, 4, or 6 berth rooms.
I wouldn't describe them as super comfy, but they're kind of like a capsule hotel on wheels.
I'll have to check one of those out, thanks. I used to sleep in a closet as a kid, so sleeping in a tiny room sounds great to me.
VIA Rail and Amtrak in CA and US respectively both have sleeper cabins, though I've never actually been in one of the VIA ones. I gotta ride more trains once transit opens up and the pandemic isn't such an issue.
