Paris
Your train journey from France to Italy begins at Paris Gare de l’Est, where you’ll board the famous Venice-Simplon-Orient-Express. This luxury overnight train, heir to the great Orient Express, is one of the most luxurious trains in the world. A butler dressed in his blue livery will welcome you and see you settled.
Your romantic dinner will be a highlight of the journey. Prepared by the train’s French chefs, it will be served in one of the three restaurant cars. All passengers will clearly have made an effort to get ready—because the train’s motto is: “You can never be too well dressed on board the Venice-Simplon-Orient-Express”.
Before heading back to your compartment, you may be able to enjoy a drink in the piano-bar car. You’ll then settle into your luxury sleeper train for a dream night in your compartment, transformed into an elegant bedroom.
Venise
You’ll wake up in a dreamlike setting: your luxury overnight train crosses the Swiss Alps. Your breakfast will be served in your compartment at your chosen time.
You’ll spend the morning enjoying the scenery, with mountains, lakes, and small hamlets. You can relax in your compartment or in the wagon-bar, where you can chat with other travelers. Enjoy a gourmet lunch in the calm, luxurious atmosphere of one of the Venice-Simplon-Orient-Express restaurants. Through the window, you’ll see the landscapes of Italy unfold and you’ll cross the impressive mountainous region of the Dolomites.
A little later in the afternoon, tea will be served in the compartment of your Paris Venice Simplon-Orient-Express train.
Finally, the train will cross the Venetian lagoon. You’ll get ready to disembark at Santa Lucia station, where your train journey will come to an end. Your stay in Venice will begin.
The Venice Simplon Orient-Express train is the best-known of the luxury trains. People even refer to it as an ultra-luxury train. Today, it is the most legitimate successor to the Orient Express—the most mythical luxury train in the world.
