Your Journey

Relax in your elegant surroundings and gaze out the picture window, watching the passing scenery unfold and contemplating the gastronomic journey ahead. Within minutes, one of our liveried Stewards will carefully pour you a sparkling Mimosa cocktail as you study celebrated Head Chef Matthew Green’s sumptuous menu.

Ahead lies a journey back to the Golden Days of rail travel, a time when nothing was too good for the pampered passengers. Our Executive Head Chef and his team will already be hard at work in the kitchen carriage preparing a sumptuous three-course brunch and six-course dinner, accompanied by our Sommelier’s choice of wine. Each course boasts the finest seasonal ingredients from the British Isles, classic and innovative dishes are crafted in our recently refurbished kitchen carriage.

En route to Norfolk a delicious three-course brunch is served as the glorious countryside passes by. On arrival, follow the platform guides as they accompany you to our private transfer which will escort you to Royal Sandringham. Spend the afternoon learning the history of the estate with a guided tour and then take time to explore on your own.

After an incredible day we rejoin the Northern Belle for a Champagne reception, before tucking into a sumptuous six-course dinner during the leisurely journey home.

ROYAL SANDRINGHAM

Royal Sandringham, nestled amidst the Norfolk countryside, serves as the beloved private estate of the British Royal Family. Purchased by Queen Victoria in 1862, it has since been a cherished retreat for generations of monarchs, including Queen Elizabeth II. The estate encompasses an exquisite country house, set amidst sprawling gardens and woodlands. Visitors can explore the grandeur of the house, stroll through the meticulously manicured gardens, and even catch a glimpse of the royal residences. Sandringham offers a rare opportunity to experience the splendour of royal life against the backdrop of Norfolk's serene landscapes.
