Britain’s Most Glamorous Luxury Train Experience – The British Pullman
The art of slow travel reaches the pinnacle of expression with the glorious British Pullman train. We are great fans of this luxurious haven on tracks which brings heritage, craftsmanship, design and luxury hospitality together in a supremely elegant way. Not to mention journeying to wonderful UK locations whilst in the enjoying its delights.
One of the most exciting luxury launches of 2026 is Celia, the spectacular new private carriage aboard Belmond’s British Pullman. This magnificent creation is the place to indulge in decadent private dining whilst being surrounded by the exquisite design and craftsmanship.
Designed by acclaimed filmmaker Baz Luhrmann and Academy Award-winning designer Catherine Martin, Celia transforms an original 1932 Pullman carriage into one of Europe’s most exclusive private entertainment venues.
Accommodating only 12-14 guests, this refined space features its own elegant lounge, cocktail bar, dining room, dedicated stewards and the option of a private chef creating your own bespoke menu. Every journey becomes a theatrical experience inspired by London’s golden age of glamour, making it ideal for intimate milestone celebrations, corporate entertaining or unforgettable family occasions. Combined with a private countryside itinerary or exclusive country house visit, Celia represents the very finest in British luxury rail travel.
