The ultimate Christmas present for any rugby fan, travel in style to one of the biggest fixtures of the 2025 Guinness Six Nations

If you're looking for the perfect Christmas gift for a rugby lover, or the perfect Christmas treat for yourself, look no further than this very special Six Nations day trip to see England play Wales in Cardiff.

Travel in style to one of the biggest fixtures of the 2025 Guinness Six Nations. As well as the excitement of the match, the journey there will be an unforgettable experience in itself. You'll board the luxurious Northern Belle train at London Paddington, feeling as though you've taken a step back to the Golden Age of train travel.

You'll be shown to your plush armchair seat in one of the restored 1930s carriages, where one of the liveried stewards pours you a glass of Champagne and serves you canapes as you watch the city give way to rural views.

There's a three-course Welsh themed lunch to look forward to on your outward journey as you glide through the countryside to Cardiff.

On arrival, take your seats at Principality Stadium for the match. England beat Wales 16-14 in a tight contest at Twickenham during the 2024 Six Nations, so it's bound to be a thrilling match as these fierce rivals face each other once again.

After enjoying the electric atmosphere of the Six Nations, it's time to return to the Northern Belle for your equally luxurious trip home.

You'll once again be welcomed with a glass of champagne and canapes, before being served a three-course English themed dinner accompanied by wine, tea and coffee, and petit fours as the train makes its way back to London Paddington.
