The Northern Belle, a heritage train dubbed "Britain's most luxurious", is set to tour the UK in the lead-up to Christmas, offering a festive travel experience. Guests will be welcomed with a red carpet, champagne and canapés, before enjoying a seven-course festive lunch, featuring dishes like turkey ballotine and artisanal cheeses. Tickets for the luxury journey start from £395 per person, with upgrade options available for more deluxe champagne and exclusive seating in carriages like "Duart" or "Glamis". The Christmas lunch tours begin on 12 December in Norwich and Ipswich, visiting numerous cities across the UK, and conclude on 20 December in Manchester, Huddersfield, and Leeds. The experience includes musicians playing festive tunes and an onboard conjurer, with the company also offering "Historic Edinburgh at Christmas" and "Historic York Christmas Markets" services.
