We are delighted to announce the arrival of Belmond’s newest luxury locomotive. The Britannic Explorer: a contemporary tribute to the art of rail touring. Experience Britain from a fresh perspective aboard England and Wales’ first ever luxury sleeper train. Much like all Belmond sleeper trains, the Britannic Explorer embraces the concept of slow travel, preserving Britain's rich rail history and welcoming a new era of culture, creativity, gastronomy, and elegance.
The Britannic Explorer will set off from London Victoria, offering three or six-night journeys with a selection of three captivating routes through the stunning natural beauty of Cornwall, The Lake District, and Wales. Get ready to immerse yourself in the breathtaking countryside of the UK, with thoughtfully designed excursions allowing you to revel in the unique charm and character of each destination.
Every meal on board has been crafted by renowned restaurateur Simon Rogan, a pioneer in Britain’s farm-to-fork movement. Rogan’s menus celebrate seasonal, sustainable ingredients sourced locally, showcasing the rich diversity of Britain’s regions. Each of the three routes will feature custom afternoon tea, lunch, and dinner menus, highlighting the best local specialties to ensure that every meal reflects Britain’s culinary heritage.
The Bar, inspired by Victorian apothecaries, offers a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere where guests can enjoy a wide range of innovative, botanically inspired cocktails, along with a thoughtfully selected range of artisan gins and craft beers, showcasing the finest products from the UK’s independent distilleries and breweries.
