Celebrate in Style

The opulence and style of the Belmond British Pullman carriages serve as the perfect backdrop to mark any unique occasion — a romantic Valentine's Day lunch, a special Mother's Day treat, or a festive feast to mark the Christmas season.

Let us help make your celebration even more personal — flowers, champagne and gifts can be arranged to await the one you love when you board the train. There surely cannot be a better way to celebrate a special occasion or treat a loved one than a journey aboard the glorious British Pullman, sister train to the iconic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.
