    Join me as I take one of the world’s most luxurious First Class trains across an entire country. Welcome onboard the famous Blue Train, which has run for almost 100 years across giving passengers one of the most exclusive ways to travel. I’ll show you exactly what it’s like to travel for 72 hours on the rails! From the fine dining in the restaurant, to the club lounge and my favourite, the observation lounge with floor to ceiling views of the countryside. As for my room, I’ve booked two, one for my Dad (Luxury Suite) and one for myself (De Luxe Suite). The luxury suite even has a bath which should prove an interesting experience travelling at 50mph! As usual this experience was paid for by myself in full.

      Would love to see you take the Smyril Line.
      It's a "cruise" from Denmark to The Faroe Islands and onwards to Iceland.
      There are some pretty luxurious rooms and it's quite expensive.
      I think the max is for a round trip and the best suite is 3000 EUR per person.

      I think this says more about his father than him. His dad is clearly someone that's instilled good morals and manners, must be a great dad and one worthy of respect (sadly not all parents are).
      Very nice to see.

And was really happy you returned to my country South Africa 🇿🇦 to try out our Blue Train after you experienced the more classy and sophisticated Rovos Rail train trip during 2022. I wish I could have met you and your dad whilst you visit here in Cape Town. I live walking distance from the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront area. I assume you are staying in one of the nearby hotels here in or near the Waterfront area. I particularly enjoyed your USA, CANADA and Scottish and British Pullman train journey videos. 😀 Enjoy the rest of your visit here in Cape Town. Unfortunately typical Cape Town rainy winter weather as we speak. Best. Ivan

    South African here. I'm a millennial and heard about the Blue Train in my childhood and early teens at school. I had no idea that it still exists! Thing is, our railroads have been abandoned so I thought that along with the majority of our trains sitting gathering dust...the Blue Train was a thing of the past. Thanks for the review and cost. I have driven from Joburg to Cape Town (around 18 hours with regular stops at petrol stations), have taken the bus (around 2 days, with a hundred stops along the way), and have flown there the majority of the times (less than 2 hours). It would be cool to experience this journey on a luxury train!
