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 can be countered with sufficiently good culture, I think. Like, in a culture where people looked out for each other and had a really no-nonsense attitude about stuff like that. (This being a hypothetical; I don't know that there are any cultures I would characterize as sufficiently protective/supportive in this regard, other than micro-cultures like a specific school or something.)

      Idk. I guess the only experience I've ever had where I've felt comfortable with the concept of sleeping around people I'm not super close with, especially in a mixed gender environment was probably camping with Scouts/Venturers/Rovers as a teen? Like, I knew most people well enough and felt sort of baseline comfortable enough with people that sleeping near the few people that were strangers (esp. male strangers) wasn't entirely nightmarish.

      I guess my point is, it's difficult to find a way to be comfortable knowing that people are gross and that if you're sleeping in an open space, there's always a small chance you'll wake up at 4 am to pee and discover some horny creep is staring at your boobs and has his hand down his pants and nobody noticed or if they did they felt too uncomfortable to do something. Idk.
