What’s Inside Indonesia’s Fancy Train Suite?

🚆 Our first ever train ride in Indonesia — and we somehow ended up in a giant private suite. We travelled on the Argo Semeru from Jakarta to Surabaya, riding in the train’s fancy compartment suites: a MASSIVE private room with a big seat, a wall of windows, movies on demand, and more buttons than we knew what to do with. So naturally… we pushed them all. 😅

Along the way? Endless rice fields, temples, and motorbikes zipping past. Plus, meals delivered right to our door — because of course we said yes to train snacks.

This video includes:
• A full tour of the Argo Semeru Compartment Suite
• Real-time reactions to our giant seat/throne situation
• Button testing (recline, footrest, table, call buttons… we tried everything) 🎛
• Our included onboard meal and snacks 🍱
• Big windows, beautiful Java views, and a lot of wide-eyed grins

This is the second episode of our Indonesia Four Ways travel series — where we explore the country by plane, train, sleeper bus, and road trip/boat. After champagne in the sky, now we’re rolling through Java on rails.

(Also, fun fact I just learned about the word Gauge: it’s not pronounced “gawge” 😂 So please enjoy my confident wrongness in this video)

If you love quirky train rides, unusual seats, or watching two awkward travellers get overly excited about seat controls… welcome aboard.

✨ NEXT UP: An overnight Indonesian sleeper bus with pod beds. What could possibly go wrong?

Hej hej from the rails! I’m Chloé — a Kiwi travel creator exploring the world one awkward train moment at a time. My husband Ludvig (dry humour, Swedish passport) joins when he can. Together, we seek out the quirkiest journeys, comfiest cabins, and always squeeze in a touch of luxury when we can (okay, that part’s mostly my idea 😅). We’re all about making travel fun, relatable, and a little bit weird — with a side of scenic magic.💛

Some links are affiliate, which means we might earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you). It helps keep the adventures going — and pays for coffee when the train café runs out of it. And honestly? Every time you use one, it triggers a little happy dance on my end. 🕺 So thank you!
