Once you have settled into your cabin or seat it's time to explore.

In Gold Service, the carriage attendant will stop by your cabin to make sure you are comfortable. Your attendant will explain how to use the cabin facilities and answer your questions. If there are two meal sittings, you will be given the option of which you would prefer to attend. Take in the colours of Australia at the Sunset Dinner or feast on a million stars at the Moonlight Dinner. While at dinner, your cabin will be converted into a cosy bedroom. Then, while you enjoy a cooked breakfast the following morning, your bed will be put away. There's not a meal to cook, a dish to wash or a bed to make.

In either level of service, the lounge is the centre of activity. Relax over a drink. Meet new friends from all corners of the world. The choice is yours.
