Belmond Announces ‘Celia,’ A Private British Pullman Carriage by Baz Luhrmann, Launching Summer 2026

The 1932 Pullman carriage delivers a theatrical, designer-led experience through bespoke British craftsmanship for intimate journeys.

Overview

  • Celia is a self-contained private dining and events carriage for up to 12 guests, set within an original 1932 Pullman and entering service in early summer 2026.
  • It features a cocktail bar, lounge, dining and entertainment space with dedicated stewards, plus the option for a private chef using seasonal British produce.
  • Exclusive-use pricing starts at £15,000, with transfers within Greater London included, and bookings are being taken through Belmond’s channels.
