Design, gastronomy and nature are on the agenda. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Following the success of the <strong>Venice Simplon-Orient-Express<\/strong> and the <strong>Royal Scotsman<\/strong>, the <strong>Belmond<\/strong> Group unveils a <strong>new rail nugget<\/strong>: the <strong>Britannic Explorer<\/strong>, the brand&#8217;s first night train in the UK. Departing from London-Victoria station, this train offers a <strong>three-night journey<\/strong> through the mythical landscapes of the <strong>Lake District<\/strong>, the <strong>Welsh valleys<\/strong> and the <strong>Cornish cliffs<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>An itinerary conceived as a <strong>travelogue<\/strong> &#8211; where each stop invites you to enjoy a unique sensory experience: paddling on the lakes, a star-studded dinner at Raymond Blanc&#8217;s in the Cotswolds, or <strong>forest bathing<\/strong> in the heart of Wales.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Sober luxury and British design<\/h2>\n\n<p>Comprising <strong>eight cars<\/strong> elegantly designed by <strong>Albion Nord studio<\/strong>, the train features <strong>18 cabins<\/strong> (including <strong>3 Grand Suites<\/strong>), a <strong>spa by Wildsmith<\/strong>, two dining cars &#8211; <em>Malva<\/em> and <em>Samphire<\/em> &#8211; and a <strong>plant-based bar car<\/strong>. The materials chosen (raw wood, wool, stone) create a <strong>hushed aesthetic<\/strong>, far removed from flashy clich\u00e9s. <\/p>\n\n<p>The kitchen, entrusted to Michelin-starred chef <strong>Simon Rogan<\/strong> (L&#8217;Enclume), focuses on <strong>local and seasonal produce<\/strong>, echoing the &#8220;<strong>farm-to-table<\/strong>&#8221; movement. On board, chef <strong>Sven-Hanson Britt<\/strong> implements this philosophy with products from English farms. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Paris-London: an escape just a train ride away<\/h2>\n\n<p>For Parisians, this <strong>luxury overnight train<\/strong> is easily accessible. A 2 h 30 <strong>Eurostar journey<\/strong> is all it takes to reach <strong>London-Victoria<\/strong> station, the departure point of the Britannic Explorer. An ideal getaway for <strong>slow-travel<\/strong> enthusiasts, eager to rediscover the UK from an intimate and refined angle.  <\/p>\n\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2025\/07\/17\/domaine-de-la-bretesche-between-exceptional-golf-and-sensory-spa-a-haven-of-peace-to-discover\/\">Domaine de la Bretesche: between exceptional golf and sensory spa, a haven of peace to discover<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From July 21, 2025, Belmond will launch the Britannic Explorer, an ultra-luxurious night train that crosses England and Wales.
