‘Southern Sojourn’ and ‘Southern Jewels’ are the two new additions to India’s ultra-luxury trains scene. Indian Railways and Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Ltd (IRCTC) have announced these new lines of their flagship luxury train Maharajas’ Express. The lines will be open to tourists from September 2017, but before that the Railways have planned attractive offers only for domestic travellers during the monsoon period of June-July 2017, in a bid to promote the launch. The regular trip of Southern Sojourn will start from Mumbai on 9 Sep 2017 and Southern Jewels will start from Thiruvananthapuram on 16 Sep 2017.
