An elegant sleeper train that is inspired by Dublin’s Georgian architecture, complete with an Observation Car to take in those exceptional views and a warm classic saloon where live musicians sing, passengers dance and legendary fables are told. Your adventure begins in Dublin, but where it takes you depends on where you want to go and what you want to experience. Journeys aboard the Grand Hibernian last between two and six nights and take you to some of Irelands wondrous highlights, some famous and some lesser known.

Each elegant carriage is finished in soothing yet understated furnishings with echoes of ancient folklore, not to mention the fully-equipped bar car and your own private, tranquil accommodation. All journeys are round-trips and take you back to Dublin with a number of tales to tell, so are you ready to start your story?
