Discover Europe by rail: as the successor to what is probably the most famous train in the world, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express now connects Europe's most beautiful cities and promises an unforgettable luxury journey. Plush Art Deco suites, sumptuous gourmet meals, and the iconic 3674 bar car transport you back to the golden age of travel. Relax in an extravagant atmosphere as picturesque landscapes pass by. Travel in utmost comfort from London to Venice or from Rome to Paris, for example.
The exceptionally elegant, velvety plush interior of the suites creates a wonderful living environment and is reminiscent of earlier times with its extravagant Art Deco style. Completely restored by experienced French craftsmen, the suites shine with magnificent colors, patterns, and textures. Choose between a historic cabin, a luxurious suite, or an opulent Grand Suite, which also offers 24-hour butler service, a separate lounge area, and unlimited champagne. Each suite also has a spacious private marble bathroom.
Look forward to fantastic gourmet dishes from chef Jean Imbert. The train is loaded with fresh produce at the stops, so the menu is always varied and can be adapted to the season. Enjoy a hearty breakfast either in the privacy of your cabin or in one of the elegant dining cars, where a three-course lunch and classic afternoon tea are also served. Jean Imbert's exquisite table d'hôte dinner is a highlight every evening. If you wish, visit the iconic 3674 bar car afterwards for a delicious Negroni, Martini, or wine.
There is probably no experience quite like traveling in the golden age of travel aboard the world-famous Orient Express. Picturesque landscapes adorned with forests, mountains, and lakes rush past your window. Nowhere is Agatha Christie's crime novel "Murder on the Orient Express" better read than aboard this legendary train. Immerse yourself in a world of indulgence and extravagance as you listen to the pianist playing the mini grand piano during the midnight brunch in the bar car. Explore the lavishly restored carriages, each of which tells its own story. And if you like, stop off in some of Europe's most beautiful cities.
Once upon a time, elegant society traveled on this legendary "king of trains," which connected Paris with Constantinople, now Istanbul. Today, lovers of comfortable travel can discover Europe in its faithfully restored successor, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. When traveling on one of Belmond's luxury trains, the destinations become secondary, because it's all about the experience of the train journey itself. When you step into the famous blue carriages, you are also immersed in the golden age of travel. With its historic carriages, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express tells best-selling stories – not least because Agatha Christie immortalized the original train in her crime novel "Murder on the Orient Express."
