Enjoy an unforgettable trip starting in Paris that takes you through Europe before arriving at the home of opera, Verona or the romantic city of Venice.
Your journey starts in Paris where you will board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express for the journey of a lifetime. Enjoy a four-course dinner in one of the exquisite restaurant cars and visit the Bar Car to listen to the relaxing sound of the pianist playing, before retiring back to your cabin which has been transformed into a cosy bedroom for the night.
Wake up to the breathtaking scenery of the Swiss Alps as a delicious continental breakfast is served in your cabin. After spending the morning relaxing in your cabin or in the Bar Car, enjoy a leisurely three-course lunch served in one of the magnificent restaurant cars. Admire the scenery as the train travels through the Italian Dolomites towards Verona and Venice. Afternoon tea is served in your cabin and then it is time to disembark at Verona’s Porta Nuova or Venice's Santa Lucia Station to start your Italian adventure.
Whichever itinerary you choose, sumptuous cuisine and attentive personal service make a journey on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion, or simply to enjoy an extra special holiday.
