18th September, 2013

As you journey in luxurious style on board the British Pullman, one of Britain's finest dining experiences awaits you - at chef Raymond Blanc's Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons. One magical day, two exceptional experiences.

Orient express itself are ridiculous prices so I would guess about £500 each?
