Venice Simplon Orient Express

The carriages on this world famous train date from the 1920s and 1930s, the "Golden Age" of travel, and the art-deco details have been thoughtfully restored. Each carriage is uniquely decorated, and each has a unique history. Every detail aboard this luxurious train has been lovingly thought through, including the service from the personal steward who attends to guests in every carriage.

Your dining experience on board is thought out just as much; Italian waiters serve your fine meals, which have been prepared fresh by French chefs, and live entertainment plays into the evening while you sip a cocktail or two. In the morning you can choose to have your breakfast in bed, brought to your cabin by your steward.

Your route with this train varies depending on the tour booked. You can still go along the classic route of Paris, Venice and other Italian cities, or you can visit more rural locations such as Lake Garda - we even have a tour that operates to Switzerland so you can experience the iconic trains there of the Bernina and Glacier Express lines.

Venice Simplon Orient Express Route

As its name suggests, the train originates in the ancient Italian city of Venice. With its stilted houses and magnificent palaces, Venice is a testament to centuries of architectural grandeur. The city boasts a rich cultural and artistic heritage, paired with an exquisite culinary tradition.

As the train departs from Venice, it winds its way through the breathtaking mountain scenery of the Alps. While the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express may no longer traverse the Simplon Pass linking Italy and Switzerland, the alternative Alpine routes it now explores still offer passengers awe-inspiring mountain panoramas, creating an unforgettable backdrop to your journey. It's an opportunity to relive the glamour of the past while soaking in the natural beauty that defines the heart of Europe.
