Questions about this journey

A five-course lunch with wines is served during the mystery, finishing with coffee, tea and chocolates. Vegetarian, vegan and allergy needs can be catered for if you tell us when booking.
What should I wear?
Smart dress is expected: please leave denim, trainers, baseball caps, collarless T-shirts and shorts at home. Jackets and ties are not compulsory, but on the British Pullman you can never be overdressed.
When does this journey run, and what does it cost?
This journey runs on selected dates only, and fares depend on the departure and the table you choose. Live dates and fares are shown on this page, and our reservations team can help on (866) 484-7882.
Do we need to take part?
The mystery is played out around you, so you can investigate as much or as little as you like. Most guests enjoy piecing together the clues with their table companions.
Will the storyline stay the same?
The current storyline is set in the interwar years and centres on a utopian city called Arcadia. A brand-new plot is being written for later departures, so ask our team which story your date features.
