Belmond launches the Britannic Explorer, a new era of luxury rail travel through England and Wales
By SENATUS Magazine | 26 July 2025

All aboard a journey steeped in heritage and wrapped in modern refinement: Belmond unveils the Britannic Explorer, the first luxury sleeper train to grace the rails of England and Wales. A majestic ode to timeless travel, this exquisite new experience invites guests to discover the sweeping romance of the British Isles—from the rugged coastlines of Cornwall to the poetic serenity of the Lake District and the untamed beauty of Wales.

Marrying the grandeur of classic rail with contemporary elegance, the Britannic Explorer redefines the golden age of train travel. Culinary artistry takes centre stage with menus curated by none other than Chef Simon Rogan, whose Michelin-starred flair brings seasonal British ingredients to life in a dining experience that feels both rooted and revelatory.

Beyond the table, a bespoke wellness suite offers indulgent therapies crafted to soothe and restore as the countryside unfurls outside your window. Guests can look forward to a rich tapestry of cultural programming, offering rare access to hidden gems across the UK—from stately homes to artisan studios, each stop designed to unveil a different facet of British identity.

With every detail curated to perfection—from heritage-inspired interiors to immersive storytelling—the Britannic Explorer isn’t just a train, it’s a celebration of Britain’s soul in motion.
