Battling the busy high street to find the perfect Christmas gifts during the festive season is not necessarily an experience that can be described as luxurious, but this December Orient-Express’s British Pullman will put paid to that with the brand new Shopping on the Rails trip, a unique twist on Christmas shopping that is designed to relieve those stresses and strains. A host of the very best of British luxury retailers have been invited to display their products onboard the festively decorated carriages and will offer advice to guests looking for inspiration for presents for family and friends or simply to put on a wish list!

The inaugural journey of this unique experience will see guests welcomed onboard to enjoy a festive four course lunch whilst travelling through the scenic Kent countryside. Afterwards, they will be free to explore the train to find, set amongst the Art Deco marquetry and brass fittings, iconic and luxurious British brands including Harrods, Brora, Cath Kidston, Ettinger, Miller Harris, Liberty, Holland & Holland, Astley Clarke and Daniel Sandler, all showcasing a wide selection of their products and providing expert advice and inspiration.
