Railbed
RailBed guests enjoy a comfortable and larger recliner seat capsule, not dissimilar to business class on a plane, that converts to a fully flat bed at night and what we would recommend for an enhanced and more relaxing experience. Also included is overhead luggage storage and a thick mattress topper with fresh linen for even further night comfort.
In addition, Railbed guests receive all-inclusive restaurant style dining served to your seat, with a paddock to plate approach using the best of local Queensland produce where possible and a range of Queensland wines and beverages.
