Britain, birthplace of rail transport, will get its first ever luxury sleeper train touring England and Wales next summer.

The Britannic Explorer will showcase an array of high-end offerings aboard. Amenities include fine dining by acclaimed British chef Simon Rogan, a wellness suite with a spa, and a botanically inspired bar where passengers can sip cocktails while watching the English countryside roll past.

The new Britannic Explorer will take guests on an unforgettable journey through the Cornwall, the Lake District, and Wales.

A double cabin will set you back £11,600 (£5,800 per person) for three nights, while grand suites – which are larger and come with additional extras like personal butler service – start at £28,200 for two people (£14,100 each).
