Our 2026 journeys are now available to book, departing from a variety of regional stations and offering unforgettable day trips with fine dining to some of Britain’s best-loved destinations.
The 2026 programme features our signature touches — a Champagne reception, caviar blinis, an expertly curated Sommelier wine pairing with each course, Port with the cheese board, and Fortnum & Mason tea service. Guests can now also enjoy menu choices onboard, a key feature of the dining experience that adds even more personalisation and indulgence to each journey.
Our mission is simple; to exceed our guests' expectations. We are constantly striving to improve the experience, make special memories for our passengers and operate the most luxurious train.
Beyond the world of ordinary first-class there has been an almost secret world. Since the dawn of railways there has existed a world of private luxury trains and only a handful remain. The Northern Belle is one such Train, and the most luxurious, carefully restored to its former glory by the Venice Simplon-Orient Express. Welcome to our world.
