TheBritannicExplorer
Britain’s New Rail Escape
A brand-new sleeper train redefines the art of slow travel — where every carriage tells a story and every bite evokes a region. Paired with bespoke experiences on and off the rails, it’s your invitation to embrace the journey, not just the destination.
From Countryside to Coast
1
Lake District
Step aboard in London and escape into the ethereal calm of the Lake District. The journey is a seamless blend of outdoor pursuits and manor-house elegance, culminating in Oxfordshire with a final flourish: a gala dinner at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. Or, on the 11 July 2025 departure, attend the hotel’s Bastille Day garden party, with Provençal flair, live music, and sun-drenched local cuisine.

Onboard Life
Curated by Chef Simon Rogan, every meal aboard The Britannic Explorer is a journey through his Cumbrian heritage — from refined takes on local favourites like Kendal mint cake and Grasmere gingerbread to multi-course menus served in the dining car. Mornings begin with beautifully plated breakfasts, followed by leisurely lunches and indulgent afternoon teas. As evening falls, cocktails flow in the Bar Car, leading into a decadent dinner.

Return to London
Glide back through Oxfordshire and the Chilterns to arrive at London Victoria by morning. Stay on for a few nights at The Cadogan and savour the charms of a Chelsea summer. Get the key to the Oscar Suite or the Cadogan Penthouse, and watch London unfold from your signature suite — or simply catch your breath before the next chapter begins…

Cornwall & Wales
The Britannic Explorer also charts courses to the untamed edges of Britain — whether it’s the sea-laced drama of Cornwall or the lyrical green of Wales. In Cornwall, shanties, seafood, and sweeping sands await; in Wales, misty valleys, medieval castles, and poetic soul. Your private cabin sets the tone for indulgence, while a customisable off-board itinerary lets you choose your rhythm: think beaches or distilleries, gardens or galleries, storied towns like Penzance or Llandrindod Wells.
RoyalScotsman
A Highland Epic, 40 Years in the Making

Scotland by Taste
1
Step Aboard the Train
Depart from Edinburgh and journey north through the Highland Line, passing Aviemore and the charming village of Boat of Garten. Continue onward to the legendary Isle of Skye, where natural wonders like Kilt Rock, the Trotternish Peninsula, and the rugged Cuillin Mountains await. The adventure stretches even farther, with visits to the dramatic Orkney Islands and the shores of Loch Lomond. Each day brings bespoke excursions, guided stories, and quiet moments with a dram in hand.
2
Gourmet Dining
Onboard the Royal Scotsman, dining is a ritual — refined, celebratory, and deeply rooted in Scottish terroir. Served across the train’s two elegant dining cars, Raven and Swift, each meal is a tribute to the land. Menus shift with the seasons, spotlighting regional produce at its peak, and are paired with a carefully curated selection of fine wines and over 50 rare and exceptional single malts.

Dior Spa Royal Scotsman
Yes, there’s a spa. On the train. A moving sanctuary inspired by Christian Dior’s long-standing love affair with Scotland. Highland botanicals, bespoke facials, and full-body rituals unfold as the landscape slips by.
British Pullman: Day-Length Gourmet Escapes
Step aboard a 1920s icon for day journeys that feel like time travel — with better food. Whether it’s a glamorous lunch en route to Blenheim Palace, a Champagne tea bound for Bath, or a round trip to Royal Ascot, this is British rail, reimagined. With carriages named Audrey, Vera, and Minerva, this is a storybook setting where every detail — from silver service to storytelling waitstaff — is part of the performance.
From London, to Everywhere
Historic cities, stately homes, seasonal events — but better. This is not sightseeing. It’s savour-the-moment, dance-in-the-bar-car, garden-party-at-sunset travel — designed by connoisseurs, curated by Lartisien. Your next chapter across Britain? It’s already being plated.
