British Pullman Cygnus CarriageBritish Pullman Cygnus Carriage - A Reimagined Carriage By Wes Anderson11 October 2021 Belmond has revealed an exclusive cinematic design partnership with filmmaker, Wes Anderson. Paying tribute to both the golden age of cinema and travel, Wes Anderson has reimagined the Cygnus carriage of the British Pullman, A Belmond Train. Wes Anderson has a love of trains and a passion for craftsmanship. He is famed for films including The Darjeeling Limited, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and most recently The French Dispatch. He has carefully balanced the preservation of the historical interior of the British Pullman Cygnus carriage with a modern interpretation of design. The carriage has Wes Anderson 's signature symmetrical lines, unique colour pallets and art nouveau style. The bespoke design also has two new private coupés (compartments) in the carriage. Commenting on the design collaboration, Wes Anderson says: “I love trains! I have often had the chance to invent train compartments and carriages in my movies -- so I was immediately pleased to say ‘yes' to this real life opportunity, and very eager to make something new while also participating in the process of preservation which accompanies all the classic Belmond train projects. They are keeping something special alive; - igniting this endangered species of travel into a new golden era.” About British Pullman & OffersClub Member discount, Bellini Benefits & any valid train offer.

British Pullman Cygnus - A Storied DesignEach British Pullman carriage has an unique history and craftsmanship. With the design for the British Pullman Cygnus, Wes Anderson has paid careful tribute to the origins of the 1950s carriage.
Named after the Greek God of Balance, Cygnus is often personified as a swan and immortalised as one of the most recognisable constellations in the night sky. Detailed reference to the myth and legend can be found throughout the design in the intricate waves and swan detailing in the marquetry. From the silver leaf on the ceiling that reflects like water, to the swan shaped champagne coolers, the carriage is a tribute to the majestic swan. British Pullman Cygnus - Two New Compartments (Coupés)The British Pullman Cygnus carriage has two private coupés where every detail of the design and experience takes your journey to a new level of luxury. The intimate space, with 360 degree carefully handcrafted marquetry, can be exclusively booked for up to four guests. British Pullman Cygnus guests have priority boarding at London Victoria and enjoy free-flowing champagne throughout the journey.. Contemporary British menus are served on special crockery, with additional flourishes from British Pullman’s Head Chef and exclusive cocktails served in glassware only available in the private coupé. Guests can also travel in the open carriage as part of the regular Pullman experience or choose to book the entire carriage for groups and celebrations up to 26 people.
