A Taste of Ireland

Step aboard one of the most luxurious trains in the world for a truly memorable adventure across the Emerald Isle. The Belmond Grand Hibernian is a luxurious sleeper train that includes your very own private accommodation with en-suite, multiple-course meals of fine cuisine prepared on board by talented chefs, as well as all transfers and admissions to private tours included in your journey. This is the perfect way to explore Ireland in the most luxurious way possible.

Your journey begins in Dublin where you are welcomed on to the Grand Hibernian with a champagne reception in the Observation Car before sitting down to a glorious lunch. The first stop on your journey is a private tour of Hillsborough Castle, the official Northern Ireland residence of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Explore this elegant Georgian home before taking refreshments in the Drawing Room before returning to the train for your first gourmet meal of your journey. End your day by relaxing in the Observation Car with your favourite beverage.

After a restful night’s sleep in your own private cabin, take the morning to relax and explore this incredibly luxurious train. Converse with fellow travellers or head to the Observation Car and watch the beautiful Irish countryside glide by. After a splendid lunch, disembark for a private tour of the historical attractions of Kilkenny and unearth 800 years of history at the Medieval Mile Museum. Afternoon tea is served at Butler house where you are free to explore at your leisure before drinks, canapés and an exquisite dinner await. After a relaxed breakfast the next day, take time to recline before heading back to Dublin Heuston Station where your journey concludes.
