Spend your time relaxing in the privacy of your private suite being pampered by your private butler. Enjoy the company of fellow travellers in one of the lounges, sampling South African snacks and fine wines throughout the day. For souvenirs check out the onboard boutique or consider a rather more expensive diamond during the Southbound excursion to Kimberley Diamond Mine Museum! Be transported to a by-gone Victorian Era when you visit Matjiesfontein on the Northbound excursion.

Indulge in the delicacies of afternoon tea served in your suite or in the lounge. Choose and early or late sitting for the chef's creative and legendary lunch and dinner cuisine. Have your butler press your shirt or dress in readiness for the evening (there is a strict jacket & tie dress code for gentlemen). Sample a 'True Blue' Blue Train cocktail before dinner. Dinner promises to be a memorable and elegant occasion - the best South Africa has to offer - accompanied by award winning wines, followed by cognac and cigars in the Smoking lounge.
