Next summer, England — the birthplace of rail travel — is rolling out something extraordinary: The Britannic Explorer, a new luxury sleeper train by Belmond. This isn’t just a train ride; it’s a journey that feels more like stepping into a moving masterpiece.
Departing from London, the train will whisk passengers along three picturesque routes through Britain’s stunning countryside. But honestly, the interior might steal the spotlight from the scenery outside.
What makes it special?
- Grand Suites: Starting at $17,700 per person, these cabins are inspired by English country gardens and include private butler service, marble furnishings, and in-room dining.
- Luxury Cabins: For $7,300, these charming spaces embody Britain’s azure coastlines and rolling green hills, offering a more accessible slice of opulence.
- Farm-to-Table Dining: The botanically themed restaurant cars, designed to feel like wildflower meadows, feature gourmet menus crafted by the celebrated chef Simon Rogan.
- Onboard Wellness: Enjoy spa treatments, a wellness suite, and sunrise yoga sessions led by experts.
The Extras
Off-train excursions include private wine tastings, wild swimming, and art exhibitions — ensuring every moment of your three-night journey is unforgettable.
Ottavia Palomba, Belmond’s global head of brand communications, calls it a “moving painting,” and from the lush botanical interiors to the world-class amenities, it’s easy to see why.
