Routes shown are for guidance only and are subject to change.


Belmond Grand Hibernian takes its name from the classical Latin word

for Ireland—Hibernia—recalling the ancient isle’s romance and culture.

Three fascinating journeys, with optional extensions, will capture both

the enriching heritage and vibrant modernity of Ireland.

STEP ON BOARD

Giant’s Causeway. The four-night journey,

Legends and Loughs, heads west towards

Cork and Blarney Castle, then continues

to the spectacular Lakes of Killarney,

wild Connemara National Park and

charming Galway. An exciting six-night

combination of the four- and two-night

trips, Grand Tour of Ireland, includes a city

tour of Dublin on day fve. For golf lovers,

tailor-made extensions can be added

before or after the trip, or incorporate a few

rounds into your train itinerary.

WHEN The inaugural journeys will take place

in summer 2016. Thereafter, the season

will run from April to October each year.

HOW Let us tailor-make your tour.

Train Journey: this features a trip aboard

Belmond Grand Hibernian with all meals,

drinks, excursions and guides included

in the price of your fare.

Inclusive Tour: we can create a tailor-made

experience for you either pre or post your

train journey. We can arrange for you to

stay in a Dublin hotel and organise a

transfer from your hotel to the station.

Travel to Ireland’s traditional heart and dine in

style as you soak up the views of the countryside.

Step aboard to enter a whole new world of elegant carriages,

fne cuisine and attentive service, with a breathtaking backdrop of

the ever-changing panoramas of Ireland’s celebrated scenic landscapes.

JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME

tep aboard to enter a whole new world of

indulgence: contemporary carriages inspired

by Dublin’s classic architecture, fne cuisine

enriched by local delicacies and a breathtaking, ever-

changing backdrop of Ireland’s celebrated landscapes.

Some days will begin with an early start, for example

when you visit the Giant’s Causeway before the crowds

arrive. Others commence with a visit to a celebrated

castle or an invigorating round of golf. However

action-packed the itinerary, you can be sure of restful

sleep as the train stops to stable each night.

Accommodating just 40 passengers in 20 beautiful

cabins, each named after an Irish county, the train

offers an intimate and fun experience, with onboard

entertainment as well as ample opportunities to make

new friends. You are sure to leave with a host of

magical memories.

THE CABINS There are fve

carriages offering 16 twin

and four double cabins.

All of the double cabins

can interconnect with twin

cabins. There is also a

cabin suitable for guests with

limited mobility, specifcally

designed to allow wheelchair

access into the cabin and

en-suite bathroom.

THE DINING From wonderful

artisan cheeses and superb

smoked fsh to smooth

Irish whiskies, the onboard

menus feature the freshest

ingredients from the regions

the train travels through,

giving guests an authentic

taste of Ireland. The onboard

chef and his team serve this

sumptuous fare in two air-

conditioned dining carriages:

Sligo, an elegant restaurant

with a contemporary

Georgian feel in relaxed

greys and warm woods, and

Wexford, a light-flled space

enhanced with Irish motifs

and tweed fabrics.

THE OBSERVATION CAR

Blending the warm

atmosphere and elegance

of a Dublin saloon, the

Observation Car is the focal

point for making new friends

and listening to music or

storytellers bringing Ireland

to life, while gazing out of

the large windows at the

spectacular views. Naturally,

it will also be the place to

taste the country’s fnest

whiskies or a glass of stout.

Sensational cuisine, mesmerising views and convivial company

create an unforgettable ambience as you travel through Ireland.

With a strong Irish favour to the fore, the train’s beautiful interiors

mix modern and traditional to sumptuous effect.

DESIGNED WITH A

LOCAL TOUCH

o create a genuine Irish

feel, the interiors of

Belmond Grand

Hibernian have been imbued

with features that recall Ireland’s

unique character and mythology.

Design company James Park

Associates worked closely with

local craftsmen and artisans to

create an unmistakeably Irish

ambience, refected, for example,

in Georgian Dublin-style panelling,

Celtic knot napkin rings and

tartans and tweeds from different

Irish counties.

The overall design is fresh, light

and contemporary yet underpinned

with tradition—mixing romance and

heritage with a breath of Irish air.

Colour plays an important role: the

Kerry-themed carriage boasts

shades of purple and blue; Leitrim

has accents of red; Waterford is

in green hues.

Restaurant car Sligo is a truly

exclusive dining space, its silver

accents, chrome fnishes and

upholstered leather chairs softened

by elegant local touches, such as

lace-like patterns in the curtains and

Waterford crystal vases.

In the Observation Lounge, a

slightly different approach has

been taken. Designed to evoke a

traditional Irish saloon, it features

a richer blend of timber, antique

mirrors and cut glass. Perfect for

enjoying the “craic”.

CASTLES AND KISSES

Ireland’s landscape is dotted with vestiges

of its past, from Iron Age forts to Christian

monasteries. But most magnifcent of all

are the castles. Whether atmospheric,

windswept ruins or beautifully restored

fortresses, all have fascinating tales to

tell. At the 15th-century Blarney Castle,

near Cork, visitors fock to bend over

backwards (literally) to kiss the mythical

Blarney Stone in the hope of being

blessed with magical eloquence.

FABULOUS FOLKLORE

The famous Giant’s Causeway refects

the Irish love of myths and legends. This

geological wonder, an area of around 4,000

perfectly interlocking basalt columns, looks

too perfect to be the result of a volcanic

eruption. More compelling is the legend of

the giant Finn MacCool laying down a path

across the sea in order to do battle with his

Scottish rival, Benandonner.

Ireland’s rich anthology of faerie folk

includes tiny, mischievous leprechauns,

believed to have pots of gold hidden in the

countryside and known for playing tricks

on people, and the rather more sinister

banshees, ghostly women whose hideous

screams are an omen of death.

Many tales surround pirates. The most

famous is 16th-century, fame-haired

“Queen of Pirates” Granuaile (otherwise

known as Grace O’Malley), a ferocious

sea captain known for pouring molten lead

on English troops.

With its lush green landscapes, mystical tales of old,

fabulous food and a wealth of literary and musical talent,

Ireland truly has something for everyone to enjoy.

CASTLES, CAUSEWAYS

—AND THE CRAIC

belmond.com


WORLD-FAMOUS WORDSMITHS

Ireland’s literary prowess is legendary:

the island has produced no fewer than

four Nobel prizewinners—George

Bernard Shaw, WB Yeats, Samuel

Beckett and Seamus Heaney. Add to

that list Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde,

Oliver Goldsmith and James Joyce and

you have a pretty peerless line-up.

Dublin offers particularly rich pickings

for literature lovers, with themed walks

and pub crawls.

SOUNDS TO TAP TOES TO

With a harp as its national emblem, it’s no

surprise that music is the nation’s passion.

Passing pubs in Ireland you may hear

strains of lively folk music—fddles, futes,

bodhran drums and wonderful uilleann

pipes, as well as guitars and melodic voices.

On the contemporary front, Ireland has

produced a wealth of talent, including rock

giants Van Morrison, Thin Lizzy and U2

and international singers such as Sinead

O’Connor, Mary Black and Damien Rice.

In this land of reeling, jigging, ceilidhs and

feadhs, don’t expect to keep your feet still

for long. It’s hard to resist getting up to dance

and a surefre way of enjoying the “craic”.

UNIQUELY IRISH

Much of Ireland’s appeal is based on its

charming ancient traditions. The country was a

Gaelic-speaking nation until the 16th century and

many inhabitants do still converse in the rich,

guttural tongue. The Irish brogue itself is lilting

and lyrical, often considered one of the world’s

most attractive accents. This accent lends

itself well to another peculiar Irish tradition: the

limerick, a humorous, fve-line verse. “There was

a young lady of Cork, Whose Pa made a fortune

in pork…”. This jaunty (sometimes bawdy)

form of poetry dates from the 14th century and

refects the national laid-back sense of humour.

When it comes to celebrating, you’ll fnd

everything from the biggest nationwide

celebrations for St Patrick’s Day to specifc

events devoted to oysters in Galway or the arts

in Belfast. You can be sure all are vivacious Irish

Festivals with music, dancing or grand parades.

As for the landscape, you may never have

seen grass as green as that of Ireland and,

with such swathes of fertile pasture, farming

has always been a mainstay of life. Familiar

sights are sheepdogs rounding up their hardy

charges on the uplands and cows being

herded along country lanes by farmers.

Dry-stone walls marking out the felds are

a distinctive feature of the landscape.

TASTES SENSATIONAL

The Emerald Isle’s natural bounty

means the next tastebud tingle is

just round the corner. Try farl—soft,

doughy potato scones, delicious topped

with a poached egg or a dollop of jam.

If you’re a lover of fsh and seafood you will

relish the bounty of this island’s waters,

especially its famous oysters and mussels.

Feast on speciality cheeses such as

Gubbeen from West Cork, as well as

smoked fsh and charcuterie. Ireland is

famous for its stout, Guinness, which

frst started when Arthur Guinness leased

a disused brewery in Dublin in 1759.

Known as the “black stuff”, it can

be admired and tasted on a tour of the

Guinness Storehouse, or in any pub,

bar or restaurant. Equally famous are

the whiskeys the island produces, such

as Jameson, Midleton and Bushmills.

Do note, whiskey is written with an “e”

here. Make sure you show your

appreciation by spelling it the

proper Irish way!

to cover the arrangements you book are available

from an advisor at RHG Insurance Brokers on

+44 (0)1438 345714 or +44 (0)1438 345719

(please quote “VSOE Travel” when calling). We

provide fnancial security for fight-inclusive

Packages (a “Package” exists if you book a

pre-arranged combination of at least two of the

following components when sold or offered for

sale at an inclusive price and when the service

covers a period of more than 24 hours or includes

overnight accommodation: (a) transport; (b)

accommodation; (c) other tourist services not

ancillary to transport or accommodation and

accounting for a signifcant proportion of the

Package) and ATOL protected fights by way of a

bond held by the Civil Aviation Authority under

ATOL number 3141.

Your Financial Protection: when you buy an

ATOL protected fight or fight inclusive holiday

from us you will receive an ATOL Certifcate. This

lists what is fnancially protected, where you can

get information on what this means for you and

who to contact if things go wrong.

We, or the suppliers identifed on your ATOL

Certifcate, will provide you with the services listed

on the ATOL Certifcate (or a suitable alternative).

In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier

are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an

alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the

services you have bought or a suitable alternative

(at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that

in those circumstances the alternative ATOL

holder will perform those obligations and you

agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by

you under your contract to that alternative ATOL

holder. However, you also agree that in some

cases it will not be possible to appoint an

alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be

entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme

(or your credit card issuer where applicable).

If we, or the suppliers identifed on your ATOL

Certifcate, are unable to provide the services

listed (or a suitable alternative, through an

alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons

of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust

may make a payment to (or confer a beneft on)

you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in

return for such a payment or beneft you assign

absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you

have or may have arising out of or relating to the

non-provision of the services, including any claim

against us, the travel agent (or your credit card

issuer where applicable). You also agree that any

such claims may be re-assigned to another body,

if that other body has paid sums you have

claimed under the ATOL scheme.

Not all holiday or travel services offered and

sold by us will be protected by the ATOL scheme.

Protection for all Packages not including fights is

provided by means of a separate trust account in

which all monies paid to us in respect of a

Package will be held until the Package in question

has been completely performed. Non-Package

arrangements and arrangements not booked or

departing from the UK are not protected by these

arrangements.

On certain trips a minimum number of

persons is required for the tour to take place. We

will notify passengers at least 56 days before

departure if a trip is cancelled for this reason. The

applicable deposit (15% unless otherwise stated)

must be paid to us when you book (or if booking

within 56 days of departure, full payment must be

made on booking).

If there are fewer than 12 passengers in your

party, and if you have made your booking more

than 56 days before departure and have paid a

deposit to secure your booking, the balance of the

cost of your arrangements (including any

applicable surcharge) is due not less than 56

days prior to scheduled departure. If there are

12 or more passengers in your party, payments

must be made as follows: 15% of the cost of your

arrangements is payable on booking, a further

35% of such cost (including any applicable

surcharge) is due 90 days before departure

(if your booking is made between 90 and 56 days

before departure).

If your booking is made less than 56 days

before departure, you will be required to pay the

entire cost of your arrangements at the time of

your booking. If we do not receive (in cleared

funds) the balance in full and on time, we reserve

the right to treat your booking as cancelled by

you, in which case cancellation charges will

become payable. Cancellation charges apply in

the event you or any member of your party

cancels a confrmed booking. These charges will

increase the closer to your departure date that

you notify us of a cancellation.

We regret we are unable to offer you any

assistance if you are delayed at the outward or

homeward points of departure. Non-UK passport

holders, including other EU nationals, should

obtain up-to-date advice on passport and visa

requirements from the Embassy, High

Commission or Consulate of your destination or

country(ies) through which they are travelling.

We reserve the right to amend the price of

unsold trips at any time.
