When you choose to travel on The Blue Train, you choose to travel in a world of grace, elegance and romance and enjoy the unique and unrivalled experience of travelling on a magnificent moving five-star hotel. Guests are accommodated in modern air conditioned suites and each coach has a butler on call to attend to guests’ every need.
Linking the private suites are two wood-panelled cars - the lounge and club cars, featuring elegant lounges, ideally positioned for an apéritif, an interlude between meals or an after-dinner conversation over coffee, cognac and Cuban cigars. This is the place to indulge in a game of cards, chess or backgammon or tune in to the big-screen television or browse through a volume from the library while savouring your beverage of choice from the well-stocked bar.
A meal on The Blue Train is a gastronomes delight, with menus featuring a selection of local cuisine from Karoo lamb and ostrich fillet to Knysna oysters accompanied by award-winning cultivars from the Cape winelands, all served as the perfect complement to the landscape through which you are travelling.
