England's First Luxury Sleeper Train Is Set to Depart in July—With Fine Dining, a Victorian-inspired Bar Car, and a Spa
On July 21, the Britannic Explorer, A Belmond Train will depart from London's Victoria Station on its inaugural journey, marking the debut of England and Wales' first luxury sleeper train. The plush eight-carriage locomotive offers three-night itineraries designed to showcase the coast of Cornwall, the villages and woodlands of Wales, or the mountainous Lake District. 'The launch of the Britannic Explorer is an important moment for Belmond as we build on the heritage of English and Welsh train travel with the introduction of the first luxury sleeper train,' Belmond CEO Dan Ruff tells Travel + Leisure . 'The train embodies slow luxury, allowing our guests to disconnect from their daily lives and discover design showcasing British wit and charm, food and drink reflecting the landscapes and flavors of the regions the train passes through, and off-board experiences that provide special access to some of the most intriguing locations in England and Wales.' The Britannic Explorer accommodates just 36 guests across 18 cabins—including 15 suites and three Grand Suites—each outfitted with interiors that take inspiration from the country's natural landscapes. London-based studio Albion Nord collaborated with artists Luke Edward Hall, Mel Campion, and Olly Fathers to create spaces filled with bold bespoke fabrics and wallpapers, artwork, and antique treasures that exude distinctly British character. Two restaurant cars, Malva and Samphire, feature menus created by chef Simon Rogan, a pioneer of sustainable British gastronomy behind restaurants like the three-Michelin-starred L'Enclume in Cumbria. The menus celebrate each region's star ingredients. On the Cornwall journey, for example, two dishes that spotlight local ingredients are the St. Ives Bay spider crab with hand-harvested seaweed, and Devon duck roasted with wild fennel. The Observation Car features a warm, wood-paneled bar with ochre banquettes and amber glass details inspired by Victorian apothecaries. There, guests can sip quintessential gin and tonics alongside other destination-inspired cocktails. Each journey begins with afternoon tea featuring regional specialties such as Welsh tea cakes and bara brith fruit cake. Beyond the plush accommodations and fine dining, an onboard Wellness Suite offers a menu of massages and facials developed with British skincare brand Wildsmith. The wellness experience extends to curated off-train activities, too—think wood-fired saunas and scenic hikes in Wales, and wild swimming and rowing in the Lake District. Each itinerary immerses passengers in the best of the region. The Wales journey includes Eryri National Park, the Pembrokeshire coast, a working lavender farm, and an intimate evening at a traditional Cotswolds pub. Lake District passengers can play English lawn games at Lingholm Estate, the Grade II-listed Victorian mansion where Beatrix Potter once summered. Cornwall travelers experience private wine tastings and coastal boat tours showcasing the region's idyllic shoreline. The Britannic Explorer joins the slate of Belmond luxury trains around the world, from Peru's Andean Explorer to the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express taking passengers from Paris to Venice, among other iconic European cities. These journeys underscore the growing interest in luxury train travel, part of the broader slow travel trend that prioritizes deeper exploration of fewer destinations over rushed itineraries, soaking up the journey just as much as the destination. 'Our guests aboard the Britannic Explorer will experience a new pace of travel as they celebrate the contemporary heritage of England and Wales,' says Ruff. Three-night itineraries on the Britannic Explorer, a Belmond Train start from £11,000 ($15,118) based on a double cabin and including excursions, meals, wine and alcoholic beverages on board, and you can book at

One Region, Three Markets: Demographics Are Shaping Travel in Japan, India, and China
Demographics drive Asia's travel divide, with Japan favoring solo, traditional travel and India and China leaning mobile-first and family-focused. Japan has the world's oldest population, with nearly one in three people over 65 — a demographic reality that quietly but profoundly shapes how the country travels, in contrast to younger, mobile-first markets like India and China. Who We Travel With: Solo vs. Family-Oriented Cultures While most travelers across Asia plan their trips with family or partners, Japan breaks from the norm. Solo travel is notably more common, while fa

Nature views, therapy llamas and 'impeccable' bathrooms give boost to 'best' airports
Most travelers hope for speedy security lines and simple layouts at airport — but some of America's travel hubs apparently soar above the rest. A recent survey of over 2,300 people identified one airport in the Pacific Northwest as the best in the country — thanks in part to its decor plus its food and drink offerings. Therapy llamas are even available on occasion to help ease pre-flight jitters for those in need. The analysis, done by The Washington Post, solicited responses from readers and looked at more than 450,000 Yelp reviews. Researchers collected data on gate capacity, parking and more for over 450 public airports and narrowed the list down to the top 50. "The best airport is the one that fills your needs and gets you to your final destination with minimal interruptions," Sheldon Jacobson, an engineering professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, told Fox News Digital — noting that the country's most trafficked airports did not make the list. (He was not affiliated with the new survey.) Counting down from 10 to 1, here are the airports that stood apart from the rest, according to the survey. Michigan's DTW landed at No. 10 on the best U.S. airports list, with flyers marveling over its underground LED tunnel that shuttles them through concourses. Another attraction is a 39-foot-wide fountain in DTW's McNamara Terminal, which shoots water in a pattern inspired by a flight map. Utah's SLC came in at No. 9. The facility was recently rebuilt – a factor many people appreciated. Participants noted the airport's spacious design, natural light and mountain views. Others gave it high-flying reviews because of its abundance of restrooms and cozy greeting room. One reader praised the "non-extortion prices" in SLC's shops and restaurants. Indiana's IND took 8th place. A simple layout, towering ceilings and sleek decor made it a fan favorite. One reader said it had "easy everything." The airport contains more than a mile of walking paths and the popular steakhouse Harry & Izzy's. New Mexico's ABQ, named in homage to the city known for abundant sunshine, is known for its southwestern architecture, which gives "local pueblo" vibes with murals by Native American artists. Flyers can grab a cup of piñon coffee flavored with a nut grown in the deserts of New Mexico. The bathrooms at PVD also got an honorable mention among survey participants, one of whom said they were "impeccable and beautifully designed." The Rhode Island hub also offers a free library, local food and live music. It boasts easy parking and navigation. Seattle's PAE feels more like a "posh hotel" than an airport, readers said, with bellhops for luggage, plus limestone-accented walls and leather couches and lounge chairs. The snow-capped Olympic Mountains can be seen in the distance. PAE includes a wine bar and a Beecher's Handmade Cheese outpost. The snow-capped Olympic Mountains can be seen in the distance. Travelers reported that MSP is a breeze to get through. Flyers can decompress in its designated quiet space and massage chairs — and even watch short films by local filmmakers. Music pays homage to Minneapolis-native Prince, and a store is inspired by the "Purple Rain" musician. Shops also offer T-shirts emblazoned with cans of Spam, which was invented in the state. DCA, in Arlington, Virginia, boasts first-class convenience thanks to its proximity to Washington, D.C., survey respondents said. The walk to DCA's gates is short, and it offers some of the best airport views in the country, including of landmarks like the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial — placing it at No. 3 on the list. Long Beach Airport in Los Angeles, California placed second on the list of the country's best airports. The Art Deco building is about 5 miles from the city's beaches and has a courtyard, al fresco dining and summer concerts that make it an "oasis," one reader said. Passengers also said the airport, which is the oldest in the Golden State, is easy to navigate. Travelers at Oregon's PDX — coming in at No. 1 in the survey — enjoy its live trees, sky-lit ceilings and natural landscapes played on video walls. Among PDX's defining features are a giant pink mailbox, occasional therapy llamas, and '80's-inspired carpeting. Vacation starts early with live music, a speakeasy and a "microcinema." "People don't mind spending time at the airport – when it's [PDX]," the Port of Portland said in a recent Instagram post. "Huge thanks to the nearly 10,000 people who keep PDX running with care – from the construction crews and custodians to the musicians in the concourse and the folks serving up donuts, beer and cheese curds with a smile."
