CABIN PLANS

L I F E O N B O A R D

THE CABINS Savour the glorious scenery from the comfort of your private cabin. All cabins have a Georgian air of elegant luxury and include private en-suite facilities with shower. Four cabins interconnect, making them ideal for families and friends travelling together, and one is suitable for guests with limited mobility.

DINING The richly upholstered restaurant cars, Sligo and Wexford, set the scene for an unforgettable on-board dining experience. Our talented chefs conjure up culinary creations influenced by the regions the train traverses, with an emphasis on fresh and flavoursome local produce—wonderful artisan cheeses, superb smoked fish and smooth Irish whiskies.

ENTERTAINMENT After a sumptuous dinner on the train, local musicians may inspire you to leap to your feet in the Observation Car or listen to tales of Irish folklore and local legends.

OBSERVATION CAR The splendour of the Observation Car provides the perfect backdrop to Ireland’s stunning scenery. Take a seat in comfy armchairs, with a glass of fine Irish whiskey or a pint of local stout from the bar, and watch the enchanting scenery from the many large windows.
