Keen to tour Britain in conspicuous style?
Britain’s first luxury sleeper train will welcome its inaugural passengers on July 21, when it makes its maiden journey from London's Victoria Station.
The Britannic Explorer, operated by luxury travel specialists Belmond, will offer three-night itineraries to Britain’s most iconic regions, including Cornwall, the Lake District, and Wales.
The train features 18 cabins, including three grand suites and 15 suites, restaurant cars, and an onboard spa.
Each journey will include a program of off-board experiences, including scenic hikes, lavender farm visits, wood-fired saunas, art classes, and yoga by the sea.
Fine dining experiences will be designed by renowned chef Simon Rogan, from L'Enclume in the Lake District.
Passengers are invited to unwind and mingle in the train’s bar, located in the Observation Car, which is designed as the social heart of the Britannic Explorer.
The Cornwall and Lake District routes will run from Friday to Monday, while the Wales route runs from Monday to Thursday.
"I am incredibly proud to launch this revolutionary new train, which further enhances Belmond’s global portfolio of market-leading luxury rail experiences," said Gary Franklin, vice president of trains and cruises for Belmond.
"The Britannic Explorer offers something truly unique; an opportunity to discover the rugged Cornish coastline and the vast expanses of the Lake District like never before."
Belmond’s boutique hotel, The Cadogan, A Belmond Hotel, London, is just a 20-minute transfer from Victoria station.
The experience will not come cheap.
Luxury accommodation aboard the Britannic Explorer starts from £11,000 based on a double cabin to include a three-night itinerary, excursions, meals, wine and alcoholic beverages on board. For more information see here.
