England's First Luxury Sleeper Train: The Britannic Explorer Redefines the Art of Slow Luxury

A new chapter in rail travel is set to unfold as Belmond's 18-cabin Britannic Explorer, England and Wales' first-ever luxury sleeper train, gears up for its grand debut in July 2025. This exquisite addition to Belmond’s iconic portfolio promises an unparalleled journey of elegance, indulgence, and cultural immersion.

Unveiling the Route: Departing from London, the Britannic Explorer offers three-night itineraries through the stunning landscapes of Cornwall, the Lake District, and Wales. Travelers can even combine two destinations for a six-night experience.

?? Highlights of the Journey:

• Culinary Excellence: Michelin-starred chef Simon Rogan brings his farm-to-fork philosophy onboard with menus inspired by regional flavors. Each plate is a reflection of Britain’s diverse landscapes.

• Sumptuous Suites: Featuring 18 beautifully designed cabins (including three Grand Suites), the interiors evoke the charm of the British countryside and coastline.

• Botanical Bliss: A bar inspired by Victorian apothecaries serves artisan cocktails while passengers soak in breathtaking views.

• Exclusive Excursions: From wild swimming in the Lake District to private tours of Welsh heritage sites, each stop is designed to captivate.

Why It Matters: The Britannic Explorer isn’t just a train; it’s a celebration of the art of slow travel, where the journey is as rewarding as the destination. It’s a perfect escape for those seeking a luxurious, unhurried experience with loved ones.
