BESPOKE IRISH HOSPITALITY – MYTHS & LEGENDS, ADVENTURE AND THE ‘CRAIC’
Belmond Grand Hibernian, Ireland’s only luxury sleeper train introduces bespoke experiences taking guests off the rails and into the heart of Ireland’s eclectic and adventurous landscape. Guests can tailor their itinerary by choosing their own adventure; immersing themselves in Celtic culture of myths and legends of Ireland’s fabled landmarks and new for 2020 – Belmond introduces a new pop-up pub on the platform, where music and dancing and plenty of ‘craic’ are on the menu.
New experiences include kayaking at sunset kayaking on the lake at Killarney, paddle boarding across Clew Bay, kissing the blarney stone at Blarney Castle, horse riding on the beach in Carrowholly or exploring foodie Galway.
A POP-UP PUB ON THE PLATFORM
New for 2020 – Belmond brings the warmth and craic of traditional hospitality direct to the rails with a ‘pop-up’ pub on the platform in the traditional style of a ‘Shebeen – once known as an illicit inn’ popping up along the route to offer a taste of traditional Ireland, music, Guinness and dancing.
TAKE TO THE WATER
Ireland offers some of the most beautiful natural landscapes that can be best explored on water – such as at Westport, on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, the natural Clew Bay features 365 islands and offers a calm serenity that is perfect for exploring by Paddle Board, whilst at Kilarney National Park, at the end of the day, guests can take a sunset kayak tour with the backdrop of Ross Castle.
