Making its inaugural journey on July 21 2025, the Britannic Explorer will depart from London, offering three-night journeys with a choice between three routes. The first choice will take guests on a spectacular venture into the Cornish countryside, the second will explore the Lake District, and the third will voyage into Wales.
Throughout the day, optional off-train guided excursions will be available for those wanting to learn more about each location. Meanwhile, during the evening, passengers can relax over a drink at the train’s bar.
