The question our specialists are asked most often is simple: what are the rooms actually like? Having toured the train many times, here is the honest answer.

The space

El Transcantábrico Gran Lujo carries just 14 Grand Deluxe Suites — among the largest on any tourist train in the world. Each suite has a private sitting area that converts for sleeping, generous wardrobe space and large picture windows on the Cantabrian coast.

The bathroom

Every suite has a full private bathroom with a hydromassage shower and steam sauna, quality toiletries and proper towels — no shared facilities anywhere on the train.

Amenities

Climate control, minibar (replenished daily and included), safe, and turndown service while you dine. Wi-Fi runs throughout the train. Because the train parks in a station every night, you sleep in perfect stillness — a detail first-time guests rave about.

Choosing your suite

Suites are similar in size, so there is no bad choice; solo travellers should read our solo travel guide on occupancy and supplements, and guests with mobility questions our accessibility guide. See the full onboard tour on our Onboard page.
