Partnering with leading British wellbeing brand, Wildsmith, the Britannic Explorer, A Belmond Train, U.K., will be debuting an exclusive Wellness Suite on board the train in July 2025. For the first time, Wildsmith – renowned for a nature-inspired approach to wellbeing – showcases its expertise aboard a train, curating treatments inspired by the journey, providing guests a tranquil retreat to harmonise the body and mind.

The Wellness Suite, housed in one of the train’s 10 beautiful carriages, will be the first experience of its kind on a train in England and Wales. Wildsmith’s treatment menu will be focused on five bespoke experiences with mindfulness, grounding techniques, and personalised reflection at its core, inviting guests to reconnect with themselves as well as the surrounding world.

Signature Treatments Rooted in Radical Botany

The Wellness Suite embraces nature-inspired treatments for the body that are aligned with Wildsmith’s philosophy which prioritises growth, sleep, and renewal. This experience is built on radical botany, crafted with the wellbeing brand’s botanical and mineral-rich formulations that combine biodynamic principles with advanced bio-actives for skin health and overall wellbeing.

Using meticulously sourced local ingredients like calendula, chamomile, rose, and lavender – many grown on Wildsmith’s own biodynamic farm at Heckfield Place – each element is chosen for its exceptional quality. Championing its eco-conscious ethos, the brand embraces compostable mycelium, glass, recyclable aluminium, and English ceramic for packaging, while also harnessing filtered rainwater in its formulations.

Every detail mirrors a deep respect for nature, delivering a wellbeing experience that is as restorative as it is responsible. Designed exclusively for the Britannic Explorer, the Signature Circadian Rhythm Reset treatment draws inspiration from the lifecycle of trees and the body’s natural rhythms, offering a choice of three treatments throughout the day: a revitalising morning session, midday purifying treatment, and a calming evening ritual to promote relaxation and restful sleep.

The Radical Botany Facial, alternatively, combines breathwork, myofascial release, and acupressure for radiance and balance, while the Rebalancing Massage spotlights alignment with natural circadian rhythms to reduce stress and enhance circulation. A deep-tissue treatment targets muscle tension and fatigue for overall physical relief, while another is specifically designed for expectant parents to ease discomfort and maintain skin health.

Rediscover Britain

Beyond the train, guests can carry on their wellbeing journey with a curated array of rejuvenating offboard experiences. Guests travelling to Cornwall can enjoy coastal sailing, yoga, and a mindful fire ceremony. The Lake District itinerary offers outdoor experiences like wild swimming, rowing, and paddleboarding, whereas the Wales journey fuses wellness and adventure with scenic valley hikes, lavender farm visits, woodfired saunas, art classes, and clay pigeon shooting.

This exclusive partnership between the Britannic Explorer and Wildsmith affords guests a chance to relax into a slower pace of life, and emerge restored and rebalanced. Luxury accommodation onboard the Britannic Explorer starts from GBP11,000 based on a double cabin. It includes a three-night itinerary, excursions, meals, wine and alcoholic beverages on board. The Wellness Suite will be bookable for a separate fee.
