Not on the high seas but down a railroad around the Japanese island of Kyushu. The new Seven Stars luxury sleeper train, which offers seven carriages with 14 well-appointed and uniquely designed suites, showcases the best sights of the destination. Over two- or four-day courses, travellers can indulge in local cuisine, luxuriate in hot springs, feast on Kyushu’s natural scenery and learn about the island’s history and culture.
Dining on board the train is possible too, at Jupiter, which serves seasonal cuisine.
Prices start from 155,000 yen (US$1,513) per person for a two-day option, inclusive of all transportation costs incurred during the programme, meals, sightseeing, entertainment and accommodation.
Advance bookings are recommended. Visit www.cruisetrain-sevenstars.jp/en/ for more information.
