Journeys in the United Kingdom with Orient-Express

Orient-Express invites you to step back into a Golden Age when royalty and the glitterati demanded far more than transport from their trains. This was an age which requested splendour, impeccable service, the finest food and the greatest wines. Orient-Express offers exactly that aboard the two Orient-Express day trains in the UK, the British Pullman and the Northern Belle.

The British Pullman:
The British Pullman operates luxury day excursions which both depart from and travel to the historic city of Bath. The beautiful Pullman carriages which form the train were once the Bournemouth Belle, the Brighton Belle and the legendary Golden Arrow. Lovingly restored with breathtaking attention to detail, each car is a symphony of intricate marquetry, inlaid mosaic floors, sparkling crystal and beautiful Art Deco design.

Journeys to Bath depart from London Victoria throughout the year. From the moment the liveried stewards welcome you to your immaculately appointed carriage, the adventure begins. After brunch served en route to Bath, you arrive for your tour of the city including a visit the Roman Baths and Pump Room. Marvel at the fascinating Georgian architecture and immerse yourself in the unforgettable atmosphere of this unique city.

After some free time to explore the boutiques of Bath, you return to the luxury of this Orient-Express train where a delicious four course supper is served on your return journey to London. Dining onboard the Orient-Express with the finest wines and British fare, you will encounter a feeling of being unobtrusively, respectfully cosseted and indulged in a way that is hard to imagine until you experience it.

In addition, there are also a variety of excursions which depart from Bath onboard the British Pullman. These luxury day trips visit destinations around the UK including historic houses, cities, gardens and flower shows as well as cultural and social events. A trip aboard the Orient-Express is truly an unforgettable experience.

The Northern Belle:
Journeys to Bath are also available aboard the Northern Belle. The Northern Belle train embodies the distinctive opulence and craftsmanship associated with the classic 'Belle' trains of the 1930s. A custom-built and faithful reproduction, it carries the magic of the Orient-Express experience to every corner of the British Isles. The day includes brunch en route, a tour of the historic city including the Roman Baths and Pump Rooms, and a delicious four course supper on the return journey. Journeys to Bath depart from Crewe, Manchester, Warrington Bank Quay, Liverpool, Nantwich, Shrewsbury, Macclesfield, Manchester, Stafford and Stoke.
