Your Journey | Cowes Week has been renowned since Edwardian times as a quintessential part of the social calendar. Hundreds of vessels from the smallest dinghies to the largest ocean racers manned by amateurs and professionals gather to participate in racing at all levels or simply to watch.
Brunch with Bellini is served on the outward journey. On arrival at Southampton you will board one of the historic Thames sailing barges with their distinctive red ochre sails, from where you can enjoy this event at its best. Dating back to the turn of the century, these fine old ships provide the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the racing. Lunch with Pimms, wine or beer will be served on board. (Please note: sailing into the Solent will depend on weather conditions).
Return to Southampton Docks Station to reboard the British Pullman. A glass of chilled champagne is served as soon as you board the train. This will be followed by a three course supper accompanied by half a bottle of wine.
