When you submit to an international luxury train journey, your world seems to slow down a bit, as you watch the world roll by in an environment immersed in refinement and romance, with the cuisine and amenities of modern five-star luxury.
Glide Through Scotland With Belmond
Through Peru's natural wonders, Southeast Asia’s ancient kingdoms and Europe’s verdant hillsides, Belmond is a quintessential hallmark of luxury train travel – thanks in part to the iconic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Yet, the Royal Scotsman is also a name quick to the lips of those in the know – simply put, one of the world’s most luxurious trains.
Guests discover Scotland in style: Edwardian elegance infused with country house comfort washes over all 10 carriages of this magnificent procession – mahogany and tweed absolutely everywhere. Up to 40 passengers embark on journeys that wind past pine-clad mountains and mirror-perfect lochs.
Life on board is relaxed yet indulgent. Guests dine on succulent Scottish fare, such as wild salmon and pan-seared scallops. The Observation Car is perfect for soaking up the breathtaking views. It’s also the place to sample fine malts, trade stories with fellow travelers and enjoy lively after-dinner entertainment.
To unwind still further, the Bamford Haybarn Spa provides the most unique spa experience in Scotland. Soothing massages and beauty rituals are offered in two serene treatment rooms as the dramatic landscapes glide past. Royal Scotsman offers a range of itineraries, from two to seven nights. Departing from Edinburgh, it travels up the East or West coast on round trips. Each journey includes exciting off-train activities, such as private visits to castles, distilleries and magical islands. Travelers with a particular passion can choose special-interest journeys themed around malt whisky, gardens or golf.
Experience The Tradition Of The British Countryside With Belmond
Whisking guests away on decadent escapes around the UK, British Pullman, a Belmond Train, combines sumptuous interiors with fine dining and fabulous fun. Sister train of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, the Art Deco icon revives the glamorous Golden Age. From the moment guests arrive at the private lounge at London Victoria station, there’s excitement in the air.
Personal liveried stewards escort passengers to their private tables and take care of their every need throughout the journey. Each impeccably restored vintage carriage boasts a unique identity and story. Some have carried royalty; others have starred in movies. Exquisite décor includes polished marquetry, plush textiles and magnificent mosaics. Expansive picture windows afford prime views of the landscapes rolling by.
Fine dining is a highlight of every journey. Culinary masterpieces, created by talented chefs in the onboard kitchen, are paired with sommelier-selected wines. Many journeys are enlivened by musicians and table magicians. A convivial buzz unites passengers in the sheer pleasure of being on board.
Signature journeys include Bath, Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, and Great British Seaside towns including Margate and Broadstairs. Non-stopping dining experiences include one-off tasting menus by Michelin-starred chefs, lavish dinners paired with exceptional champagnes, romantic Valentine’s Day lunches and decadent Mother’s Day teas. Sporting events such as Goodwood Revival and the Grand National can be visited in style.
All in all, when Tully Luxury Travel is tasked with sending you on a rail journey beyond your dreams, the possibilities are endless, sumptuous, and select. All aboard for the rail less traveled.
