Since Belmond took over the reins in 2005, the Royal Scotsman has been revered for its lavish offering. Whizzing through the Scottish Highlands, weaving between mountains, castles and bridges, the legendary train exudes untold glamour. The summer 2023 season promises to be the most sophisticated so far, as Belmond partners with Dior for an onboard Dior Spa Royal Scotsman. Housed in one of the train’s plush carriages, the spa will feature two lacquered treatment rooms, restyled with Dior’s iconic burgundy toile de Jouy motif. Guests will be able to immerse themselves in a curated programme of treatments as the train moves through Scotland’s awe-inspiring valleys.
Bringing the savoir-faire of two leading luxury brands together, Dior Spa Royal Scotsman will provide guests with the ultimate beauty experience to complement their outdoor wellness activities - such as wild swimming, hiking and farm-to-table dining - holistically enhancing their overall wellbeing. The unveiling of the spa coincides perfectly with the newly launched themed journeys aboard the train. Running from 30 June to 3 July 2023, the new Highland Survival Adventure itinerary is for adrenaline-seekers featuring outdoor challenges in some of the most secluded locations in the Western Highlands. Bon vivants are invited to enjoy a getaway with Scotland’s most celebrated culinary star, Chef Tom Kitchin. From September 4 to 6, 2023, the Michelin-starred chef will host A Taste of Scotland, a gastronomic, two-night journey through the Scottish Highlands.
