Chronology
PredecessorNeoplan Jumbocruiser
Neoplan Super Skyliner

The Neoplan Megaliner was a quad-axle double-decker luxury coach built by the German coach manufacturer Neoplan Bus GmbH between 1983 and 2000. Primarily intended for the European and Latin American market as the larger counterpart of the Neoplan Skyliner, it was built on lessons learnt from the experimental Neoplan Jumbocruiser. Some Megaliners also saw service mainly as overnight long-distance coaches in Japan.
