Thursday - As you board the gleaming carriages of the British Pullman train at London Victoria station, your steward will show you to your reserved seat.

Throughout your journey you will be attended by your own Personal Steward.

After you have settled into your comfortable private cabin it will soon be time to dress for dinner. Why not sip a pre-dinner cocktail before making your way to one of the magnificent restaurant cars. Here you will be served a delicious four-course dinner, prepared by our skilled French chefs. After dinner you may want to linger in the Bar Car, listening to the sound of the baby grand piano. When you are ready, retire to your cabin, which has now been transformed into a cosy bedroom.

Friday - You awake to the magnificent scenery of the Swiss Alps as breakfast is served in your cabin, at a time to suit you.

While away the afternoon relaxing in your cabin admiring the spectacular scenery as the train travels through the Italian Dolomites. Later afternoon tea is served in your cabin as you travel through the Brenner Pass.
