BLACK YELLOW MAGENTA CYAN
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.

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.

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
BLACK YELLOW MAGENTA CYAN
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!

(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.
