Blue Train is upgrading its current “Luxury is Better When Shared” promotion by adding an additional hotel night to the deal for guests traveling on June departures.

June travelers on board can opt to use these 2 hotel nights either pre or post rail journey. The hotel selections in Pretoria include the classic Sheraton or stunning Castello di Monte, while the choices in Cape Town include the luxurious Taj or Westin, both set in ideal locations in the heart of the city.

For the remainder of 2014, all travelers on other departures are entitled to one complimentary hotel night at these pre-selected hotels.
