Our journey will take you to the city of Lincoln, in the East Midlands of England. This ancient city has Iron Age origins with layers of Roman and medieval history in abundance. It’s a delight to stroll around its cobbled streets to discover this historic gem.
Your journey begins as your steward welcomes you aboard the Northern Belle to your comfortable armchair seat. Elegant tables laid with starched tablecloths, uniquely branded silverware and highly polished glasses complement the luxurious carriages.
Fine dining is a highlight of every journey and, once you have settled in, a delicious brunch with a Bellini is served as you travel towards Lincolnshire. In the care of your steward, sit back and relax in the convivial atmosphere, enjoying the views from your window. On the Northern Belle, the journey is as exciting as the destination.
