On board you can enjoy the highest comfort, safety and first-class service with the company of a maximum of 48 guests.

The Royal Scotsman is available for private hire from Train Chartering. Private carriages or individual compartments can be booked through the Luxury Train Club or Private Rail Cars. "A journey on The Royal Scotsman takes you to the heart of the Highlands, through landscapes of towering, pine-clad mountains reflected in mirror-still lochs. Just 36 guests travel through Scotland’s finest countryside in private cabins, with an open-deck observation carriage behind. Life on board this luxury train is relaxed and indulgent, with gastronomic dining and the convivial atmosphere of celebrating with friends. After dinner, over a wee dram, a local clansman recounts tales that bring Scottish history alive. Along the way, guests disembark to meet local personalities, talk to experts on subjects from salmon fishing to whisky and take part in fun activities—truly a Scottish rail vacation par excellence."
