British Pullman, A Belmond Train, England

London, United Kingdom·4.8 (130)

Photography by Belmond

Celia, a new private dining and events carriage launching aboard Belmond's iconic British Pullman in May 2026, was designed by BAFTA-winning filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, the visionary behind Moulin Rouge!, The Great Gatsby, and Romeo + Juliet, alongside his wife and longtime creative partner, three-time Oscar-winning costume and production designer Catherine Martin. Inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the British countryside, and the cinematic extravagance of a Luhrmann film, the carriage is built around the fictional muse Celia, an imagined 1930s West End actress, with tri-color marquetry walls depicting English pastoral scenes, oak floors inlaid with pansies, and a fabric ceiling engineered to enhance live acoustics for performances on board. Seating up to 12 guests, the standalone carriage features a dining area, lounge, bar, and private kitchen, transforming seamlessly into a theatrical space for performances as it journeys across the English countryside.
