Belmond Grand Hibernian, Belmond's newest luxury sleeper train, will mark its debut Aug. 30 in Ireland.

Accommodating up to 40 guests, the train will make two-, four-, and six-night journeys out of Dublin through the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland.

The train cars were purchased from Irish Rail in early 2015, and transformed into Georgian-inspired sleeper and dining cars, with interiors designed by James Park Associates.

Each carriage is named after a different county in Ireland and decorated in distinctly colored tartans.

The starting rate for the two-night journey is about $4,148 per person, including food and beverage and excursions.
