Overview

• The Britannic Explorer, Belmond’s first luxury sleeper for England and Wales, will depart London on July 21 for three-night excursions to Cornwall, the Lake District and Wales.
• Bookings have reached 70 percent capacity, with one guest reserving all three regional itineraries back-to-back at a starting rate of £11,000 per person.
• Eighteen cabins—including three Grand Suites and 15 Suites—feature bespoke British design by Albion Nord and collaborations with Luke Edward Hall, Mel Campion and Olly Fathers.
• Michelin-starred chef Simon Rogan will helm seasonal, locally sourced menus in two countryside-inspired dining cars alongside a botanically inspired bar and the UK’s first onboard spa suite.
• The launch expands Belmond’s UK rail portfolio under LVMH ownership and underscores growing interest in high-end, experiential slow travel.
