Wellbeing
The Wellbeing Suite aboard the Britannic Explorer offers an opportunity for restoration and rejuvenation, while our off-board excursions focus on mindfulness, movement and adventure.
Dining Curated by Simon Rogan
During off-board private dining experiences and within on-board menus by culinary curator Simon Rogan, we focus on local provenance and produce through a farm-to-fork approach.
Train travel has long been a symbol of exploration and discovery. Once a national cue to freedom and opportunity, this luxuriously slow mode of transportation was filled with unexpected discoveries and encounters along the way.
The Britannic Explorer, featuring lovingly restored Mark III carriages, pays homage to Britain’s pioneering legacy in train travel and Britain’s drive to design, create and discover.
Experiences
Our unique off-board experiences – ideal for a weekend getaway from London or a deep-dive into the UK’s most historic and cultural gems – are carefully curated to celebrate Britain’s beauty with expert guides and exclusive access.
