Can I register interest before 2027 departure dates are released?

Yes. Joining the waitlist is often the best approach if you already know which experience interests you. This allows you to receive updates as soon as departures become available and gives you an earlier opportunity to consider your preferred dates.

Which British Pullman experiences are usually the first to attract attention when dates are released?

Seasonal departures, steam-hauled journeys, major sporting events and limited dining experiences often generate strong interest. Guests who are flexible on dates usually have more options than those targeting a specific event or celebration.

Why are departure dates released separately from the previous year's programme?

Luxury rail schedules can depend on route planning, railway access, special event calendars and operational arrangements. Releasing dates once they are fully confirmed helps ensure guests are booking against the most accurate information available.

Should I wait for 2027 dates or consider a 2026 departure instead?

That depends on your travel plans. Guests looking for a particular celebration, anniversary or travel period in 2027 may prefer to join the waitlist, while those wanting to experience the British Pullman sooner may find suitable availability within the current programme.

How do guests usually choose between the different British Pullman experiences?

Many guests start by deciding whether they prefer a destination-focused day, a dining experience or a themed event. Others choose based on personal interests such as historic cities, stately homes, steam locomotives, festive experiences or major sporting occasions.

Are British Pullman journeys suitable for repeat visits?

Very much so. The variety of destinations, themes and seasonal experiences means many guests return several times, often selecting a completely different style of journey on each occasion.

Do guests typically book for a special occasion or simply for the experience itself?

Both are common. Some guests travel to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries or retirements, while others simply want to enjoy one of Britain's most iconic luxury rail experiences without needing a particular occasion.

Why is there interest in the British Pullman among Venice Simplon-Orient-Express travellers?

As Belmond's sister train to the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, the British Pullman offers a similar appreciation for heritage rail travel, attentive service and beautifully restored carriages. For many guests, it provides an accessible way to enjoy the atmosphere of luxury train travel within a single day.

Sasha, our agent, compiled a wonderful and exceptionally well thought out trip to Paris to catch the Venice Simplon Orient Express to Istanbul and a short stay in Istanbul afterwards. Everything was perfect; from the proposed hotels in Paris and Istanbul, to the transfers between airports and hotels. Sasha listened to everything we wanted to experience and delivered above our expectations, with exemplary and timely communications. Altogether, we thoroughly recommend Mulberry Travel.

just wanted to say thank you for all your help booking the Grand National trip aboard the British Pullman. We all had a wonderful day and everything was organised so well. They arranged reserved seating on the coach transfers for us and my wife managed the whole day despite her cancer, such was the care taken.

Dear Lee and all the Mulberry Travel Team, We just wanted to thank you for organising such a wonderful trip to the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish. The Hotel Mayfair was absolutely perfect for us, comfortable, elegant, and ideally located. The drivers throughout the weekend and for our airport transfers were excellent, especially Riswan, who drove us to and from the races. He was not only professional but also a wonderful guide, sharing his enthusiasm and knowledge of Paris and France, which really added to the experience. Attending the Arc itself was something we had wanted to do for many years, and we’re so glad to have finally experienced it. Thank you again to you and your team for arranging everything so beautifully. You took all the stress out of the trip for us and we are very grateful. It truly was a memorable weekend. Warm regards, Maggie, Richard & Eleanor

I cannot recommend Sasha at Mulberry Travel highly enough. Her exemplary service, talent at curating trips and attention to detail as well as support while you travel is unsurpassed. I continue to use Sasha for my travel and have recommended her to friends and colleagues.

Sasha and her colleagues did a fantastic job helping organising our honeymoon, arranging everything; sorting the flights and transfers and picking the hotels for the two centre trip to Verona and Lake Garda that we wanted. Everything went smoothly from the flights, the transfers from Verona airport to the hotel in Verona, between Verona and Sirmione and the return to the airport, the hotels and the Opera (which was a highlight).

Dear Sasha thank you for organising our trip to Florence to take in the Andrea Bocelli Teatro del Silenzio concert at Lajatico it was amazing as was your organisation of the trip. We had a wonderful time all thanks to you Andrea, Placido and the other guests. I would have no hesitation in booking with you in the future. Kind regards Thiona

This was our first trip with a tour group It was a wonderful experience The hotel accommodations were perfect The dinner experience was wonderful Our driver to the event was great We can’t say enough about this wonderful trip Very organized

Mr & Mrs Gray

Exceptional company who are responsive at all times .Outstanding communication and all arrangements were perfect

Wendy Taylor

We have just returned from seeing Andrea Bocelli in Italy. The whole trip was organised by Mulberry Travel. I cant recommend them highly enough. They organised everything from flights to transfers to accommodation and also tickets for the concert. Everything ran seamlessly. The Hotel L'Orologia in Florence was one if their recommendations. It was beautiful and centrally situated on a lovely piazza. Transfers to and from the airport and the concert ran like clockwork. I will certainly be booking with Mulberry Travel again for any trips. It took the worry out of organising myself which I would normally do.

Jane Stonehouse

Sasha and Mollie were fantastic from the initial enquiry to the final plans . Every aspect of the trip was amazing and the Concert was truly amazing ! I cannot praise Mulberry Travel enough . A wonderful trip ! Thank you 😊

Richard Goodenough

We booked the British Pullman for my wife’s birthday and Mollie Ellis your Consultant could not have done more for us. She answered any questions that I had and kept in touch from the initial booking through to our day out to Bath. We had a fantastic day and I will certainly book through Mollie and Mulberry travel in the future.

Robert Hawkins

We contacted Mulberry Travel to enquire about a 2025 Monaco F1 package as we could find nothing that suited us in Australia. Sasha was incredible and put together a wonderful package for us. The whole booking process was so easy and we were kept informed every step of the way. Our trip leaves us with fantastic memories. Thankyou Sasha and Mulberry Travel. We certainly recommend this company to anyone in UK or Australia

I recently booked a cruise to include tickets to Monaco Grand Prix for a special birthday surprise. Sasha contacted me via email so as not to spoil the surprise. This attention to detail continued along with timely correspondance throughout the whole planning period. The cruise was a great success but the hotel recommendations and even private hire transfers from airport, hotel and cruise port were all part of the very professional service and nothing was too much trouble. I would happily recommend Mulberry Travel to friends and family and will definitely use their services again. Thank you.

Thank you, Mulberry Travel, for putting together an amazing trip to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary to Venice, returning to London via Paris on the iconic and timeless Venice-Simplon Orient Express. Big thanks to Mollie and Sasha in particular for all their efforts to make it such a memorable experience.

Carl

Mollie, put together a surprise trip for my wife's 50th on the Orient Express to Venice. The whole process was organised and delivered to perfection. Highly recommed their services.

Amanda Brooker

We unfortunately had a 9 hour delay on the Orient Express and I cannot commend enough Mulberry Travel and in particular Sasha who was in constant communication with us informing and reassuring us along the way. Excellent company.

Jim Scott

The service rexceived from Mulberry Travel from booking to the lead up to the trip was freindly, seamlessly and efficient taking all the worry out of the process. Many thanks.

Anita Jones

Booked a holiday on the Orient Express to Venicewith the lovely Sasha she sorted everything for us all we had to do was select the Hotel we wanted to stay in Venice for 3 nights . Nothing was to much trouble and answered any question we had very quickly ... would highly recommend Mulberry Travel to book holidays and so glad we came across them.
