Aboard the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, luxury rail travel becomes an experience in its own right — an unforgettable escape steeped in elegance and timeless allure.
Step into a world where time slows, elegance reigns, and every detail is steeped in romance. The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, exclusive to Belmond, is more than a train—it's a cinematic voyage through Europe’s most storied cities, set within exquisitely restored 1920s carriages. This legendary journey captures the golden age of travel, delivering five-star sophistication at every turn.
Imagine gliding through the countryside of France, Austria, and Italy, bound for cities like Paris, Venice, Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Florence, or Rome. This is rail travel redefined—where movie stars once gathered, and formalwear was non-negotiable. The famed Paris-to-Istanbul route, the crown jewel of the itinerary, is as exclusive and breathtaking as luxury travel gets.
Decadent Suites & Art Deco Elegance
Each of the six Grand Suites is a tribute to the iconic cities along the route—dripping in vintage charm with private en-suite bathrooms, plush textures, and meticulous Art Deco design. For classicists, the 48 twin cabins convert nightly into cozy sanctuaries with damask linens and polished brass details. Shared washrooms evoke refined nostalgia, while attentive stewards ensure effortless comfort.
During the day, soak in the ambiance of the train’s historic carriages, each a masterpiece: from the shimmering Lalique glass of Côte d’Azur to the intricate wood marquetry of Étoile du Nord, and the sultry elegance of L’Oriental. Evenings call for black-tie attire and the gourmet creations of Chef Jean Imbert, whose haute cuisine menus transform dining into theatre. Post-dessert, toast to your adventure with champagne in the iconic bar car—live music included.
New Itineraries. Same Timeless Magic
Timeless one-night journeys between Florence and Paris offer the ultimate short escape—an overnight experience brimming with indulgence. Guests enjoy a seamless blend of scenery, fine dining, and pampered service, including a decadent four-course dinner, continental breakfast, and personal steward care.
