Accommodation

The three classes of travel, GoldLeaf Deluxe, GoldLeaf and SilverLeaf, all offer an exceptional experience. No on-board sleeping accommodation.

GoldLeaf Deluxe and GoldLeaf are a similar service, the difference being the standard of hotel accommodation.

In the dining car guests can enjoy delicious cuisine prepared in the galley kitchen. The large picture windows ensure spectacular panoramas. Wander along to the observation deck and stand outside whilst the scenery whistles past.

SilverLeaf enjoys panoramic views in single-level glass-domed car. Relax in reclining, rotating seats and enjoy delicious meals and refreshing drinks served at seat.
