The price is not know yet, but this Paris-Rome line look like a luxury train, a bit like the Riviera Express line (Nice-Moscow), the Paris-Moscou Express (both on hold since 2020) or the classic Venise-Simplon-Orient-Express. None of them are cheap choices for a night train.
That said, the actual choice for Paris-Rome by train is to take the Paris-Milan TGV trains with the french SNCF or the italian Trainitalia, and then the Milan-Rome (with Trainitalia or NTV). All in all is a 20h travel for around 200-300€ (for tomorrow), probably way cheaper than this 2024 train, and around the same than most plane tickets (but you can find "cheaper" planes...).
In the past, there was a night train between Paris and Milan by Thello (a Trainitalia subsidiary), but is't also closed since 2020.
- logifail 4y ago> there was a night train between Paris and Milan by Thello The Austrian train company OEBB operate night trains under their NightJet brand[0], according to their route map[1] both Paris and Milan are served, although it doesn't look like that's direct, presumably you have to change (in Austria somewhere?)

- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoFairly sure that Midnight Trains are specifically going after a different market than the luxury super-long-haul market. A lot of their marketing blurb really focuses on them as an alternative to short-haul (i.e. intra-european) flights.
