Steam Hauled Excursions
Enter an almost forgotten world of romantic encounters, tantalisingly glimpsed through wreathes of steam, for pure, unadulterated glamour there is no greater experience.
There is no finer way to enhance your journey with the Belmond British Pullman than to add the drama of a mighty steam locomotive. The sound of the engine, the smell of the coal, the drama of the departure, and then the timeless elegance of your Art Deco carriage waiting to welcome you aboard. Whatever your choice of journey, you are bound to arrive in style.
Signature Steam Journey
The Golden Age of Travel by Steam
Take photographs of the immaculate, gleaming steam locomotive while it stands at London Victoria Station. Then it is time to board the famous Belmond British Pullman for a fine-dining experience like no other. From the moment liveried stewards welcome you to your immaculately appointed carriage, the adventure begins.
Stepping aboard the British Pullman is like stepping back in time. Every detail, from regal carpets, woven brass luggage racks and mahogany glass-panelled doors to silken lampshades and velour tapestry armchairs, transports you to a more gracious age. Few journeys will take you out of modern time quite so thoroughly and into another era.
In the care of your steward, as time passes unnoticed, enjoy a delicious five-course lunch, unruffled and unhurried. A glass of champagne rounds off your meal before the train returns to London Victoria. Guests do not disembark during this circular journey.
Also available as a diesel-hauled departure - see our Fine Dining Excursions page for details.
Smart day wear is appropriate. This is one time in your life when you are free to look fabulous, dressing down is just not our style. Please do not wear jeans or trainers.
