A DAY ONBOARD.

From the moment you step onboard the spacious glass-dome coach, relaxation flows over you as you recline and sink into your cosy seat. The friendly Hosts greet you, and a buzz of excitement fills the air

Before long, you enjoy your first meal of the day which is inspired by the region in which you are travelling through. Your savour every bite and it leaves you with a warm glow of satisfaction as you take in the breath-taking scenery. Then, just when you thought you could not get any closer to nature, you visit the outdoor viewing area, step into the crisp fresh air, and take it all in.

You fully immerse yourself in the experience, gazing at extraordinary views and losing all sense of time as you dive into conversation with fellow travellers and your Host team. Then, you and your travelling companions, old and new, sit for your next meal. As each delicious course is served, your Host shares the history of the rail route and region, giving you an even greater appreciation for everything you see.

You continue meandering through natural wonders, with a drink in hand, as the sun starts to set. But the enjoyment continues as you are transported to your hotel, where you rest for the evening. As you lay down, you reminisce over the perfect day that is just about to end, and you can’t wait to see what wonders tomorrow brings.
