4-berth sleeper train tickets on Vietnam Railways SE trains start from 487.000VND for the Saigon to Nha Trang route and from 1.947.000VND for the Saigon to Hanoi route on weekdays in October 2026. A lower berth costs about 6% to 11% more than an upper berth, depending on the route. Vexere surveyed all 4-berth cabin prices in this article on its booking system on 7 October 2026.

What is a 4-berth cabin on a Vietnam train?

A 4-berth cabin is an air-conditioned soft sleeper cabin on Vietnam Railways SE trains, with 4 berths arranged on 2 levels on either side of a central aisle. Each 4-berth cabin has its own lockable door, power sockets and a reading light for every berth.

Vietnam Railways classifies the 4-berth cabin as an "air-conditioned 4-berth sleeper" coach (Giường nằm khoang 4 điều hòa). A 6-berth cabin has 3 levels of berths, while a 4-berth cabin has only 2, so each berth in a 4-berth cabin has more headroom and passengers can sit up easily. The lower berth sits close to the floor and shares a small table by the window. The upper berth is reached by a ladder and sits above the lower berth.

The 4-berth cabin suits couples, families of 3 to 4 people and business travellers on long routes who want a quieter night on an overnight train. A group of 4 can buy all 4 berths to have the whole cabin to themselves.

4-berth cabin train ticket prices by route (updated October 2026)

The table below shows the lowest price for 1 adult, one way, on weekdays from 12 to 28 October 2026. Prices include the service fee shown on Vexere. The travel time column shows the fastest journey on each route.

Survey method: Vexere checked 4-berth sleeper prices on every SE train across 8 routes on 10 Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in October 2026, for a total of 80 searches. Each price in the table is the lowest fare found for that berth level across all searches. Train fares may change depending on the travel date and the number of seats left.

The lowest 4-berth fare on each route usually comes from the same train. SE9 and SE10 have the cheapest 4-berth fares on the North to South line because both trains run more than 5 hours slower than the fastest train in the same direction. SE6 and SE8 offer the cheapest 4-berth fares from Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang, with upper berths from 487.000VND.

4-berth cabin train ticket prices from Hanoi to Da Nang

On 13 October 2026, 6 SE trains ran from Hanoi to Da Nang and all 6 trains had 4-berth sleeper coaches. The prices below are for departures on Tuesday, 13 October 2026.

SE9 has the cheapest 4-berth fare from Hanoi to Da Nang and arrives at Da Nang Station just before 6 am. SE3 is the fastest train, but a lower berth on SE3 costs about 148.000VND more than on SE9. Passengers who want a full night's sleep on board should choose SE1, SE3 or SE19, because all three trains depart in the evening.

4-berth cabin prices on weekdays and weekends

4-berth fares on Fridays and Sundays are 13% to 24% higher than on weekdays on the routes Vexere surveyed. The table below compares the lowest upper berth fares on 3 routes.

Surveyed on 7 October 2026 for departures on 13 and 14 October (weekdays) and 16 and 18 October (weekend).

Passengers with flexible plans should travel from Monday to Wednesday. A family of 4 travelling from Hanoi to Da Nang on a Tuesday instead of a Friday saves 828.000VND on 4-berth upper berth tickets.

How do 4-berth cabin prices differ on SE1, SE3, SE5 and SE7 trains?

On the Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City route, 4-berth cabin fares for the same lower berth differ by up to 167.000VND depending on the train. The table below is based on departures on Tuesday, 13 October 2026.

Is the 4-berth cabin on SE3 a good choice? 4-berth fares on SE3 are exactly the same as on SE1, with lower berths from 2.130.000VND and upper berths from 1.991.000VND. SE3 takes about 1 hour 25 minutes longer than SE1. In return, SE3 leaves Hanoi Station at 19:20, almost 2.5 hours earlier than SE1, and arrives at Saigon Station at 05:30. Passengers who need to reach Ho Chi Minh City early should choose SE3. Passengers who want the shortest journey should choose SE1.

Passengers on a budget can choose SE5 or SE7. A 4-berth lower berth on SE5 and SE7 costs about 96.000VND less than on SE1, but both trains run during the day and arrive later.

Lower berth or upper berth in a 4-berth cabin?

An upper berth in a 4-berth cabin costs less than a lower berth, from 33.000VND less on the Hanoi to Vinh route to 125.000VND less on the Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang route.

• The lower berth costs more and is easier to get in and out of. Lower berth passengers share a small table by the window. The lower berth suits older travellers, young children and passengers with a lot of luggage.
• The upper berth is cheaper, more private and less disturbed, because nobody sits on it during the day. The upper berth suits young people travelling alone.

Two people travelling together should book 1 lower berth and 1 upper berth in the same cabin, so they have a place to sit during the day and still save on fares.

Booking a whole 4-berth cabin for a family or group

A family or group of 4 can book a whole 4-berth cabin by buying all 4 berths in the same cabin. On the Vexere coach map, passengers choose a 4-berth sleeper coach, find a cabin with all 4 berths free, then select the 2 lower berths and the 2 upper berths.

Booking a whole 4-berth cabin on SE9 from Hanoi to Da Nang on 13 October 2026 costs 4.338.000VND for 4 people. Buying 4 middle and top berths in a 6-berth cabin on the same SE9 train costs 3.346.000VND. The whole 4-berth cabin costs about 992.000VND more, or about 248.000VND more per person. The extra cost buys a private cabin with a closed door, no strangers and more headroom than a 6-berth cabin.

4-berth cabin vs 6-berth cabin vs VIP 2-berth cabin

SE1 from Hanoi to Da Nang has all three types of sleeper cabin. The prices below are for the departure on 13 October 2026.

A berth in the VIP 2-berth cabin on SE1 costs about twice as much as a lower berth in the 4-berth cabin. See detailed fares on the 6-berth cabin train ticket prices page and the 2-berth cabin train ticket prices page. Fares for every berth type are listed on the sleeper train ticket prices page.
