Pre-departure Information

Luggage and Space

Although Tangula's suites are roomy and comfortable, trains in general offer limited storage. Each suite has enough storage space for two suitcases each less than 33 x 70 x 50 cm (13 x 28 x 20 inches), therefore guests are advised to make arrangements for excess luggage which cannot be stored within the suite. Tangula can assist guests with arrangements for their luggage to be stored in their booked pre-boarding hotel or to be forwarded to them ready for their onward journey after disembarkation from the train.

Dress Code

Throughout the day guests are advised to wear casual, comfortable clothing and shoes appropriate for walking during off-train excursions. Check with your travel professional for special items you might want to pack for your destination and the time of year you are traveling.

Dining room attire is casual during the day; evening attire is smart casual, such as casual dresses or pants for ladies, and sport shirts and slacks for gentlemen. Ties and jackets are not required. Casual daytime attire is not considered acceptable after 6:00pm. Footwear and shirts are required in all public areas of the train.

There are bathrobes and slippers in each private suite for your use during the journey, however, they are not to be worn in public areas. No laundry service is offered on the trains.
