Imagine the luxury and comfort of the finest five-star hotel. Where the best Cape wines are complemented by gourmet cuisine, served with dignity and elegance. Imagine your very own butler, turning down the linen sheets. Imagine a hotel where you can watch the moon rise over the Karoo and wake to find yourself surrounded by vineyards. Imagine the Blue Train where each air-conditioned compartment will have a bathroom or shower, TV, radio, video for private viewing . The compartments offer the most luxurious accommodation of any train in the world.
