Belmond Ltd has just announced the imminent arrival of Belmond Grand Hibernian, the first luxury touring train in Ireland and sister train of the Belmond Royal Scotsman.
Launching on the rails in August 2016, Belmond Grand Hibernian will be available for exclusive two, four and six night excursions starting from Dublin with itineraries throughout the Republic and Northern Ireland.
Interior designs of Belmond Grand Hibernian draw on Ireland’s unique character and mythology with colours inspired by the flora and fauna of the countryside. The overall design is fresh and contemporary with a 'hint of heritage and a breath of Irish air'.
Each carriage will reflect the colours of the tartans from the county after which they are named. The sleeper carriages accommodate 40 passengers in en-suite cabins. There will be two dining cars: the ‘Wexford’ and the ‘Sligo’ each serving the authentic taste of Ireland including Irish whiskies. The 'Kildare' will be the observation car kitted out as an Irish saloon and featuring large picture windows to watch the world go by.
