Introducing the Britannic Explorer, a modern celebration of the tradition of touring. See Britain through new eyes aboard the first ever luxury sleeper train in England and Wales. Paying homage to the Great British tradition of touring, the Britannic Explorer celebrates the art of slow travel, preserving Britain’s pioneering history in rail travel while ushering in a new era of culture, creativity, gastronomy and style. 

The Britannic Explorer will depart from London Victoria, offering three-night journeys with a choice of three evocative routes through the spectacular natural landscapes of Cornwall, The Lake District, and Wales. Guests will be invited to explore the glorious countryside of the UK, with each carefully curated excursion immersing guests in the quintessential charm of its destination and character.  

The dining experience aboard the Britannic Explorer has been designed by award-winning restaurateur Simon Rogan, a visionary leader in Britain’s farm-to-fork movement. Rogan’s menus will celebrate seasonal, sustainable ingredients, sourced locally to showcase the richness of Britain’s diverse regions. Each of the three routes will feature bespoke afternoon tea, lunch and dinner menus, highlighting the finest local specialties to ensure every meal is a true reflection of Britain’s culinary heritage.

The Bar, inspired by Victorian apothecaries, provides an elegant and convivial atmosphere where guests can savour a menu of innovative, botanically inspired cocktails, alongside a carefully curated selection of artisan gins and craft beers, highlighting the finest offerings from the UK’s independent distilleries and breweries.
