"Celia is in many ways the closest anyone can get to chartering their own train. As such, this is one of the most exciting additions to The British Pullman in a generation."
"Stepping inside the carriage is like being transported into another world. Guests are invited to become part of the story. Celia, at its heart, is a magical mystery tour - a traveling dining experience for friends or an intimate celebration, filled with food, music, wine, laughter, and performance."
"The design concept is built around Luhrmann's fictional muse, Celia - an imagined 1930s West End leading lady gifted her own Pullman carriage following an era-defining performance as Titania, Queen of the Fairies, in A Midsummer Night's Dream."
The British Pullman, a luxury Belmond train operating from London's Victoria Station, has unveiled Celia, its first new carriage in a generation. This private dining and events space marks the inaugural collaboration between Belmond and filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, who reimagined an original 1932 Pullman carriage with Oscar-winning costume and production designer Catherine Martin. Celia accommodates up to 12 guests and features a cocktail bar, lounge, dining, and entertainment areas. The design draws inspiration from Luhrmann's fictional 1930s West End actress muse, incorporating theatrical elements, Art Deco aesthetics, tri-color marquetry panels depicting pastoral scenes, and floral motifs. The carriage transforms the train experience into an immersive storytelling journey combining fine dining, music, wine, and performance.
