BOARD THE BELMOND BRITANNIC EXPLORER

Belmond is bringing to Britain what it does best, the chance to step into a slower, more romantic way of travel. With its signature "art of slowing down" ethos, the Britannic Explorer transports travellers back to the golden age of rail, where fine dining, elegant suites and attentive service provide an experience worthy of a Wes Anderson film.

Belmond Britannic Explorer, The Dining Carriage

And, as with any Belmond journey, impeccable service is a given. In the dining carriage, Michelin-starred chef Simon Rogan serves seasonal British classics, creating dishes that are inspired by the ever-changing landscape. Each dish is a celebration of british cuisine, featuring the finest locally and sustainably sourced ingredients.

In typical Belmond style, the journey is more than the train itself. Each itinerary is created around new adventures, whether it’s private tours, guided hikes or immersive cultural experiences. Travellers can expect to explore rugged coastlines, soak up the beauty of the Lake District, or fall in love with the timeless charm of Wales.

Belmond X Wildsmith

For those seeking relaxation, Belmond has partnered with Wildsmith, a brand known for its responsibly crafted, botanical and mineral-rich formulations, to offer exclusive treatments in the Wellness Suite. Passengers can experience their mindfulness-based therapies, where grounding techniques and personal reflection come together to create restorative experiences.

Belmond Britannic Explorer, interiors by Albion Nord

The interiors, designed by London-based studio Albion Nord, are a reflection of Belmond’s timeless aesthetic. The modern yet nostalgic approach to luxury blends British botanical patterns, a soothing palette and the elegant details of the Art Deco period.

Launching from London in July, the Britannic Explorer promises to be the perfect way to admire Britain’s beautiful landscape while journeying aboard a train unlike any other.
