Once you are on board The Blue Train, you will not need an extra penny except to acquire personal gifts such as exquisite jewellery and The Blue Train branded mementos.
With interiors created by a leading interior architectural design company, the new Blue Train rivals many a five-star hotel in terms of grace, ambiance, comfort and style.
The suites have been superbly redesigned to offer discerning guests and travellers the best that modern technology and superior craftsmanship can offer.
Each Blue Train suite has a fully appointed bathroom en-suite, featuring either a bath or shower; a telephone, TV monitor and individually controlled air-conditioning. A range of videos, movies and radio channels provides guests with a variety of entertainment while onboard The Blue Train. The video choices include access to short documentaries about the area through which the train is travelling.
A large screen in the Club Car provides a driver's-eye view of the track ahead, courtesy of a camera mounted onto the front of the locomotive. Other innovations include CD players and video machines in the luxury suites. To enhance your experience, you can choose from a selection of CD's and videos that can be obtained from the train manager's office.
To ensure the ultimate in hospitality, each coach has a professionally trained butler who is on call for guests in each suite to attend to their every need. The butlers are there to ensure that your journey is as memorable and comfortable as possible.
The Train Manager is also on call at all times. Guests can contact him anytime they require assistance on any matter; or when they require information pertaining to their journey.
