New Train Journey – Britannic Explorer By Belmond

Inaugural journeys slated for July 2025

We love slow, especially when it involves an indulgent and nostalgic train ride. Valise partner, Belmond, unveiled a brand new luxury train – the Britannic Explorer by Belmond – to mark the 200th anniversary of the world’s first passenger rail journey. The Britannic Explorer, offers passengers a choice of three itineraries, each of which departs from London on three-night journeys to Cornwall, the Lake District, and Wales.

During the day you will have a choice of off-train guided excursions that include private wine workshops and castle tours. Depending on the itinerary, some journeys will also include a black-tie dinner at Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saisons in Oxfordshire or a 30-course tasting menu at the two Michelin star restaurant, Ynyshir, in Wales.

The Britannic Explorer can accommodate 36 guests across 15 suites and 3 grand suites, all designed by the London-based studio, Albion Nord. Inspired by the interiors and gardens of British stately homes, they contain oak paneling and soft furnishings in sage green and blush pink to reflect the British landscape through which the train passes.

Chef Simon Rogan will oversee two dining cars, focusing on his signature style: using seasonal organic ingredients, much of which will be sourced from his own farm in the Lake District.
