Pristine white linens and gleaming glassware adorn your table in one of our uniquely decorated Pullman-style carriages from the 1930s, each lovingly restored by some of the nation’s finest craftspeople, including marquetry specialists, muralists, and mosaic artists.
Fine dining is a highlight of every trip. Once you’re settled in, enjoy a delightful brunch accompanied by a sparkling Mimosa cocktail as you journey toward Oxford. Under the care of your steward, sit back, relax, and soak in the convivial atmosphere while admiring the views from your window. On the Northern Belle, the journey is as thrilling as the destination.
Upon arrival at Windsor Eton Riverside station, the castle is just a short, uphill walk away, so we recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes.
Since the reign of Henry I, it has served as a residence for the reigning monarch, making it the longest-occupied castle in Europe. The castle's opulent early 19th-century State Apartments are regarded as the pinnacle of Georgian elegance.
Within the castle walls lies St. George’s Chapel, a stunning example of high-medieval Gothic architecture constructed in the 15th century. It is both a Royal Peculiar, a church directly under the authority of the monarch, and the Chapel of the Order of the Garter.
Afterwards, reboard the Northern Belle for a Champagne reception, followed by a lavish six-course dinner during your leisurely journey home, paired with Northern Belle’s sommelier's selection of fine wine.
Please note - This tour is not recommended for people with walking difficulties or wheelchair users. The road leading from the station to the castle is quite steep and cobbled.
Windsor Castle is a royal residence at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire, about 25 miles (40 km) west of central London. It is strongly associated with the English and succeeding British royal family, and embodies almost a millennium of architectural history.
