Orient-Express invites you to step back into a Golden Age of Travel to experience a magnificent lunch and recreation of a fabulous time in history.
The Golden Age of Travel on the British Pullman
Step aboard the British Pullman into a golden age when royalty and the glitterati demanded far more than transport from their trains. An age when the great and the good, politicians and the powerful, demanded splendour, privacy, impeccable service, the finest food and the greatest wines to be had anywhere in the world. Travel with Orient-Express today is an authentic recreation and a joyful celebration of the style and decadent sophistication of that Golden Age.
Steeped in history, our British Pullman carriages were once the Bournemouth Belle, the Brighton Belle and the legendary Golden Arrow, whisking passengers to the majestic ocean-going liners of the 1920s and 1930s. Today, lovingly restored to their former glory, the Pullman carriages cocoon guests in luxury.
This unforgettable journey of great entertainment and spectacular English destinations centres on the train's original 1920s carriages.
- 42S : This trip is also available as a Steam Hauled excursion.
What's Included
Five course lunch with champagne, wine and a liqueur, champagne reception at Whitstable.
Your Journey
As the train makes its way into the station at Victoria, the commotion and excitement at the Orient-Express lounge builds as your glamorously dressed hosts invite you out to the platform to board.
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. For every detail, from regal carpets, woven brass luggage racks and mahogany glass-panelled doors to silken lampshades and velour tapestry armchairs, transports you back to back to a more gracious age.
In the care of your steward as time passes unnoticed, enjoy a delicious five course lunch, unruffled and unhurried. Few journeys will take you out of modern time quite so thoroughly and into another era.
What to Wear
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.
