Venice Simplon-Orient-Express steward at door

The Venice Simplon-Orient Express train is a work of art in itself - a true Art Deco icon that is famous the world over.

 

Romance, glamour, adventure and the mystery of the past are all intimately bound up in journeys that visit some of the most alluring continental cites. Few trains still exist from a more gracious, elegant age of travel. This lovingly maintained train is a worthy inheritor of the legend that is 'Orient Express'.

 

Air-conditioned vintage cabins, delicious afternoon teas and exquisite dining with lively on-board entertainment make a journey aboard this icon, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, one of the world's finest travel experiences.

 

The General Manager of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Pascal Deyrolle, says, "“Dinner, much like the 1920 era, is theater. People come here for the atmosphere—you have afternoon tea, dress for dinner and enjoy a postprandial drink in the bar car. It’s very similar to the aristocratic life of the old days.”
