The most famous Orient Express in Europe is a much-coveted travel experience for many travelers. This year, from March to December—just months before the London Olympics—a series of major sporting events will take place locally, including the Cheltenham Races, the Grand National, the Chester Races, Royal Ascot Ladies Day, the Wimbledon Championships, the Goodwood Revival, and the Masters Tennis Tournament. Among these, the internationally renowned “Wimbledon Championships” will be featured on the Northern Belle train—part of the “Wimbledon Journey” trip departing on June 26 (starting from £985 per person). Guests will have the opportunity to watch world-famous tennis stars compete in the Wimbledon quarter-finals, including tickets to the main court matches, an Orient-Express gift basket, and access to the Debenture Lounge restaurant and bar. The outbound journey includes brunch with a Bellini cocktail, while the return trip offers a five-course dinner with wine and champagne.
