Following the launch of the Dior Spa Royal Scotsman in 2023, The Royal Scotsman, A Belmond Train, announces its inaugural travelling wellness retreat from 20 to 23 June 2025 through the Scottish Highlands in collaboration with Dior. Hosted by Dior Wellness Experts, Bryony Deery and Rose Ferguson, the exclusive four-day, three-night retreat is inspired by the raw beauty of Scotland and promises an unparalleled journey of relaxation and rejuvenation amidst the country’s breathtaking landscapes.

As the train weaves through the awe-inspiring peaks and valleys of Scotland, guests will immerse in a personalised experience that connects nature, culture and holistic well-being through a curated programme to engage the mind and body. The Royal Scotsman General Manager, Fredrik Laseen comments:

“We’re thrilled to introduce this wellness retreat, an extension of our collaboration with Dior having launched the Dior Spa Royal Scotsman to much success, in 2023. This new offering extends the unique opportunity to unwind and revitalise from not only onboard the train but also our wellness-focused activities offboard, elevating both guest experiences.”

Dior’s Pilates & Mindful movement expert, Bryony Deery will guide guests through mindful movement classes inspired by her own personal recovery and self-discovery journey. Rooted in the six principles of wellness Pilates, her approach to wellness encourages balance and harmony, in keeping with Monsieur Dior’s vision of enhancing not just beauty, but inner joy. Her philosophy offers guests the chance to embrace the present moment and reconnect with body and mind.

To complement the movement programme, Dior’s Nutritional Expert and renowned nutritionist specialising in functional medicine and naturopathy, Rose Ferguson offers expert guidance on conscious nutrition. Known as the “queen of reset,” Rose has meticulously crafted each menu served onboard, drawing on her extensive nutritional expertise in collaboration with Royal Scotsman’s Head Chef, Mark Tamburrini, to help guests achieve their health goals using mindful eating.

Throughout the retreat, guests will enjoy meaningful moments of connection onboard, including nutritionally balanced afternoon teas, lively entertainment, and time in the Observation Car, where they can unwind and take in Scotland’s breathtaking landscapes. Other onboard activities allow guests the opportunity to truly unplug, including breathwork sessions and luxurious spa treatments in the Dior Spa.

Offboard, adventurers are invited to explore the natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands, alongside the Dior Wellness Experts, with activities from wild swimming to forest bathing in the ancient Rothiemurchus Forest or a private hike. Each experience is crafted to help guests reconnect with the natural world. Other highlights include yoga sessions, scenic boat rides to observe wild seals, and the opportunity to savour locally foraged seasonal delicacies.

Nicola Herbert, Global Director of Wellness and Guest Experience at Belmond, comments:

“This retreat marks a new chapter in our commitment to redefining luxury rail travel. By integrating wellness experiences throughout our journeys, we’re offering an enriching experience that fosters a deeper connection with nature, culture, and well-being, all while embracing the philosophy of slow travel.”

By the end of the retreat, guests will leave with a renewed sense of vitality and well-being, ready to carry the calm and rejuvenating energy of the journey into their everyday lives.
