My wife and I have traveled twice on Premier Classe . Last November we did the North bound and in Feb 2008 we did the south bound where William was our manager and Millie head of the diningcar. Everything was brilliant. The service,food,ambience and accommodation. Premier Classe starts their Cape Town to Port Elizabeth on Friday 5 December. That is going to be a great trip.

Jane and I have travelled on Premier Classe several times and can only agree with you, Stefan. A superb experience all round, and we really enjoyed our interactions with William, Millie and Amanda, and with Gary of the other crew.
