All aboard the Britannic Explorer: Belmond unveils the first luxury sleeper train in England and Wales

Date:

With 18 different suites, there is an elegant place for any weary traveller to rest their head

With the British climate dictating ingredients, there’s always a different savoury temptation to look forward to, especially with chef Simon Rogan at the helm, who will no doubt offer a thoroughly satisfying and hearty menu – with an emphasis on the richness of land and sea. Decompression will no doubt happen effortlessly here but, if you want to further unwind, there will be memorable massages to be had, as well as reflexology sessions in a spa inspired by British follies/ shell-adorned grottoes that have more than a flirtation with romantic Cecil Beaton-stately style.

Need to know: Belmond proudly unveils the Britannic Explorer, A Belmond Train, the first  luxury sleeper train in England and Wales, debuting in July 2025. The routes are scheduled to allow travellers to combine two regional journeys into one trip:  The Cornwall and Lake District routes run from Friday to Monday, while the Wales route runs from Monday to Thursday. Luxury accommodation aboard the Britannic Explorer starts from £11,000 based on a  double cabin to include a 3-night itinerary, excursions, meals, wine and drinks on board; www.belmond.com
