In a return to old-school glamour, the UK's first luxury sleeper train sets off on its maiden voyage next year. Evoking the romance and sophistication of an Agatha Christie novel, the train's opulent carriages combine classic style with modern amenities, promising a journey steeped in nostalgia and indulgence.
The Britannic Explorer, A Belmond Train, transports guests away from the rush of everyday life via lavish, laid-back three- or sixnight journeys that take in some of the best the UK has to offer in awe-inspiring scenery, from the breathtaking valleys of Wales to Cornwall's sparkling seas.
More high-end hotel than high-speed commuter route, the luxuriously leisurely train invites passengers to forget everything they thought they knew about rail journeys.
