PREMIUM CLASS on the TranzAlpine | Scenic Plus with restaurant quality food & drink

Come for a ride on New Zealand's most popular scenic train across the Southern Alps in winter but in a premium class of travel with restaurant quality food and drinks served at your seat. This is Scenic Plus - the newest offering on New Zealand's long distance passenger trains. Find out whether it's worth paying the extra for this higher class of travel on the Christchurch to Greymouth train. Enjoy the stunning Southern Alps as well as a spectacular river gorge while enjoying breakfast and a light lunch on the way to the West Coast; with a light afternoon meal and dinner on the return journey to Christchurch. This is one of the world's great train journeys, covering 223 kilometres (139 miles) one-way and taking just under 5 hours. In Scenic Plus, we'll also have access to our own dedicated open-air viewing car, providing unparalleled views from both sides of the train. The TranzAlpine train travels coast-to-coast through the 'Great Divide' and the indomitable spine of mountains that partitions New Zealand's South Island.
