Itinerary
Day 1 Depart Venice
Feel the thrill of anticipation at Santa Lucia Station as your journey begins. Board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and make yourself comfortable in your cabin. Luxurious upholstery, polished marquetry and soft lighting set the scene for the glamour to come.
Sit down to a delicious three-course lunch in one of the beautifully restored dining cars. Through the window, the changing scenery takes in the majestic Italian Dolomites and, after Innsbruck mountains, the spectacular Arlberg route. During a relaxing afternoon, browse the onboard boutique for exclusive, elegant gifts or simply unwind in your cabin where a French goûter, served by your steward, makes an indulgent treat.
Soon it’s time to dress for dinner. Whet your appetite with an aperitif in Bar Car ‘3674’ before making your way to one of the dining cars. Here, the imagination of celebrated chef Jean Imbert influences both the décor and the menu. Seasonal specialities are accompanied by exceptional wines. After dinner, a lively ambience awaits back at the bar. Listen to the resident pianist play the baby grand as you sip sublime and classic cocktails.
Day 2 Arrive into Paris
Unwind in your cabin this morning as your steward serves a French breakfast. Continue absorbing the scenic French countryside as you savour an exquisite brunch in the restaurant. As the train pulls into Paris, get ready to disembark for your onward explorations and adventures.
Accommodation
Venice Simplon-Orient-Express
Upgrade availableHistoric Cabins are a luxurious place to rest after a day’s adventure on the rails.
Whether it’s unwinding as Europe passes your window, or retreating after an evening in the bar car, even the most convivial traveller will require a quiet space to retire. And where better than your own private cabin.
Lay amid plush furnishings, fresh linens, and handcrafted furniture in our magnificently restored 1920s cabins. Order morning coffee to your bed, or a cocktail while you dress for dinner. Our stewards are only ever a short call away.
Take in Europe from the romantic setting it deserves with your own private historic twin cabin. Banquette seating offers the perfect vantage point to watch the landscape by day, while convertible sleeping berths — with soft, luxurious bedding — transform the cabin into an intimate retreat by night. Morning breakfast can even be served to your bed, should you desire.
