VENICE SIMPLON-ORIENT-EXPRESS
Europe's most romantic journey
Europe
Board the legendary train to step back in time to a world of romance, indulgence and adventure. Dine in authentic 1920s carriages and share travellers' tales with other guests over glasses of champagne in the Bar Car. Then be lulled to sleep in a private cabin with brass lamps and marquetry panelling, awake to a breakfast in bed and roll down the windows to discover the sights outside.
The train's weekly route links, London, Paris and Venice, interspersed with other destinations in central Europe. Every year it makes an exceptional "land voyage" over several days to Istanbul, following a similar route to that of its launch in 1883.
