Where Wellbeing Meets the Highlands: Inside the Dior Wellness Journey Aboard The Royal Scotsman

There are a few travel experiences that evoke the grandeur of a bygone age quite like The Royal Scotsman. Carving through the heart of the Highlands, its vintage carriages whisper of romance, refinement, and now wellness.

This year, Belmond unveils something exceptional: The Dior Wellness Journey. An exquisite collaboration between Dior Spa and The Royal Scotsman, this luxurious 3 day escape is more than a voyage it’s a holistic immersion in beauty, both natural and curated.

Onboard, two Dior Spa cabins offer a menu of signature and bespoke treatments, transporting guests into realms of calm, guided by the brand’s deep heritage in elegance and wellbeing. However, the wellness experience extends far beyond the carriage walls.

Days are punctuated by restorative rituals: wild swimming in glassy lochs, forest bathing under the cathedral of Caledonian pines, and hikes that wind through the Highlands’ ancient soul.

Your day will also be enriched with purposeful practice and expert guidance. Pilates sessions are led by Bryony Deery, the renowned wellness entrepreneur and founder of the acclaimed Pilates method that blends strength with grace. Her signature style is elegant, intentional, and deeply restorative that feels perfectly attuned to the gentle rhythm of the rails.

Guests are also invited into moments of reflection and renewal with Rose Ferguson a respected nutritionist, former model, and one of the UK’s foremost voices in holistic health. Her curated programme includes nourishing consultations and thoughtful talks on Mindful Living and Wellness Routines, designed to inspire balance long after the journey ends.

Luxury here is not only measured in thread count and silver service but in the rare luxury of stillness, presence, and care. The landscape is wild; the experience is curated. Together, they form a new kind of indulgence where Dior’s artistry meets Scotland’s soul.

For those who seek the exquisite and the elemental, the Dior Wellness Journey is an experience like no other. Rare, refined, and restorative, it is travel, beautifully reimagined.
