I've spent 140 hours on overnight trains and 14 nights on cruises. One is more comfortable, and the other is more fulfilling.
Briefly

After spending 140 hours on overnight trains and 14 nights on cruises over four years, the author finds that while cruises provide luxurious amenities, relaxation, and varied food options, they are quite different from the unique exploratory nature of overnight trains. The author appreciates the freedom of movement that train travel allows, indicating a stronger preference for trains over cruises, despite acknowledging the benefits of cruising in terms of relaxation and accommodations.
Cruising blends accommodation and transportation, offering relaxing amenities and varied food options in larger cabins, while overnight trains provide a unique exploratory experience.
After four years of sampling both travel types, I've found that cruising is more relaxing, but I prefer overnight trains for their unique experiences.
