Kenya Railways is set to launch a luxury travel coach on the Madaraka Express. It will carry 28 passengers and feature fully reclining seats for ultimate relaxation during the journey.

These services will be offered under Kenya Railway Premium Services. The carrier explained that the seats provide ample legroom and personal space, and can also serve as beds for passengers who book the premium class.

“Fully reclining seats for your comfort and relaxation. KR Premium is set to redefine luxury travel with exclusive amenities and top-notch comfort,” they wrote.

They also confirmed there will be extra storage space for passengers, including space for shoes. Kenya Railways plans to introduce catering services for premium class passengers as well.

“Segregated from other compartments, the premium coach offers privacy and exclusivity ensuring passengers can work, relax or simply enjoy the beautiful scenery,” Kenya Railways wrote.

“Premium Class passengers will have access to VIP lounges and benefit from priority boarding and disembarkation at terminals, adding to the already existing convenience to their journey.”

The prices for this premium service are expected to be higher than ordinary tickets. Kenya Railways hasn’t announced the start date or prices yet.

However, some reports suggest it might cost around Sh. 7,000, compared to the ordinary ticket price of Sh. 1,500.
