Paris, France – November 12 2024 – the first of the two Orient Express yachts, will set sail
in June 2026 to cruise the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Caribbean seas.
La Dolce Vita Orient Express announces today that sales will officially open this April, marking an important milestone for an unparalleled travel experience in one of the world’s most cherished destinations: Italy.
The LEGO Group today unveils the LEGO® Ideas Orient Express – a beautiful brick recreation of the one of the world’s most luxurious and legendary forms of travel. Known as a ‘rolling palace’ the Orient Express was the world’s first international luxury train that carried thousands of passengers across Europe to Istanbul from 1883 to 1977.
Orient Express has appointed Giampaolo Ottazzi as General Manager of the first two Orient Express Hotels in Italy: Orient Express La Minerva in Rome and Orient Express Palazzo Donà Giovannelli in Venice.
Ottazzi will be responsible for the strategic positioning, development, and operations management of both hotels, which are set to open in 2025.
In a tribute to the past, celebration of the present and looking toward the future, Orient Express proudly marks its 140th anniversary today, October 4th, 2023. Commemorating the very moment when Georges Nagelmackers’ Orient Express embarked on its inaugural journey from Paris to Constantinople in 1883, Orient Express is not merely celebrating a legacy, it embraces its rebirth. The Orient Express legend lives on today through a collection of travel experiences including the highly anticipated launches of its legendary trains, a collection of luxury hotels, and Orient Express Silenseas – the world’s largest sailing ship.
