Join Us for a Magical Christmas Journey Aboard the Belmond British Pullman to Canterbury Cathedral

Step aboard the legendary Belmond British Pullman for a magical Christmas journey through the Kent countryside to Canterbury Cathedral, where candlelit festive carols await within one of England’s most magnificent and historic sacred spaces.

This unforgettable seasonal occasion begins at London Victoria Station, where Members will be welcomed aboard beautifully restored 1920s Art Deco carriages for one of Britain’s most celebrated luxury rail experiences. As the British Pullman glides through the winter landscapes of the Garden of England, guests will enjoy exceptional dining, fine wines, Champagne and impeccable service from attentive liveried stewards.

Each original carriage is a masterpiece of the golden age of rail travel, lovingly restored with intricate marquetry, polished brass, crystal lighting and sumptuous armchairs. Many have their own distinguished royal and historical stories, including carriages once used by members of the Royal Family and Sir Winston Churchill.

Following a sparkling Bellini reception, Members will relax into an elegant brunch served with fine wines while admiring the timeless glamour and craftsmanship surrounding them. Large picture windows offer wonderful views across the Kent countryside as the journey unfolds in refined comfort.

Upon arrival in Canterbury, beneath the Cathedral’s soaring stone vaults and ancient Norman Crypt, Members will enjoy a moving candlelit performance of Christmas carols by the acclaimed Canterbury Singers — a truly atmospheric and memorable festive experience.

Later, guests will reboard the British Pullman for a Champagne reception followed by an exquisite four-course dinner accompanied by the sommelier’s selection of wines. Throughout the return journey to London, Members can relax in the warm glow of one of the world’s most iconic luxury trains and enjoy the romance, elegance and conviviality that make the British Pullman so special at Christmastime.

The British Pullman has long been regarded as one of the world’s finest luxury rail experiences, and during the festive season its glamour and atmosphere become even more enchanting.

This is a journey that lingers in the memory long after the final glass has been raised.
