Description

The ‘Brighton Belle’ epitomised the art deco glamour of train travel in the 1930s – running from London to Brighton, it was the first electric Pullman service in the world. Now revel in the same exclusive luxury on a Belmond British Pullman round trip via Eastleigh and which takes in part of the Brighton Belle line. Travel on a beautifully restored Pullman carriage (including ‘Audrey’, ‘Gwen’ and ‘Vera’ – three cars from the original Brighton Belle service). After boarding at London Victoria, get seated and be served a glass of chilled champagne by one of the Pullman’s famous liveried stewards. During the round trip, enjoy a fantastic five-course meal, freshly-prepared on board and served with wine.
