A celebration of Cornwall in all its sand-kissed, sea-swept glory, this three-night itinerary spirits us to the far reaches of South-West England – the stunning land of shanties and seafood. From your private luxury cabin, embark on a train journey like no other and visit the region’s most historic and picturesque sights.
Step aboard the Britannic Explorer at London Victoria, where the promise of an extraordinary journey awaits. Departing in the soft afternoon light, explore the train’s elegant carriages, including the sanctuary of your private cabin.
As London recedes, England’s enchanting western countryside unfurls beyond your window. Settle into the dining carriage and savour Chef Simon Rogan’s Cornish Afternoon Tea, crafted with the finest ingredients from Cornwall’s larder – a true taste of British tradition, down to the spirited debate of jam or cream first.
Day 2
CORNWALL
Mornings aboard the Britannic Explorer are yours to savour. Start the day at your own pace – a tranquil first-light experience on the platform, a luxurious lie-in followed by brunch in the dining car, or a revitalising visit to the serene Wellness Suite. As the train glides along Devon’s stunning southern coast, you’ll journey along the famed Riviera Line, where sweeping sea views unfold past charming towns like Teignmouth.
Skirting the rugged beauty of Dartmoor en-route to Plymouth, the train then enters Cornwall – Kernow in the local tongue.
Day 3
CORNWALL
After a delightful breakfast prepares you for this final, unforgettable day on board, immerse yourself in the timeless allure of south Cornwall’s Lostwithiel area, where thoughtfully curated excursions reveal the region's historic charm. Explore the picturesque seaside town of Fowey, where our Guest Experience team can craft a bespoke adventure tailored to your desires.
Choose from a coastal hike along the famed “Hall Walk,” a private boat tour along the shore, or other excursions into the local area that invite you to discover its hidden gems.
Day 4
CORNWALL
Savour a farewell breakfast as we depart the tranquil East Somerset Railway, your heart filled with cherished memories of the stunning Southwest. As the train journeys towards London Victoria, relish the final moments of this extraordinary adventure, culminating in an early morning arrival that marks the end of a remarkable journey. Arrive in London with joy and celebration, dreaming of your next voyage. Our journey together ends here – until we meet again.
