Venice, where the journey begins
Orient Express Venezia
Welcome to Orient Express Venezia
A 15th-century Venetian palace reawakens after an eight-year renovation by architect Aline Asmar d’Amman. The Palace was transformed in the 1800s by architect Gian Battista Meduna and beautified with layers of Neo-Gothic and Baroque splendor. Once home to the Duke of Urbino and the Donà and Giovannelli families, it later became a Pinacoteca. Now, through Orient Express, it begins a new hospitality chapter, honoring the legacy of a noble mansion while embracing the spirit of the iconic hotel brand. Just ten minutes from the historic quay, the palace gleams anew, its courtyard, terraces, and garden inviting exploration.

From Rome & Capri to Provence
Orient Express Sailing Yachts
Departing from Rome’s maritime gateway, the winds carry you to the indescribable charm of Capri, that captivates like a magnet. Perhaps it’s the shimmering blue of the Grotta Azzurra, or the piazzetta, with whitewashed houses and luxury boutiques where people-watching becomes art. But the ultimate sanctum is Porto Cervo, where you will discover Costa Smeralda’s most legendary beaches. As your adventure winds down, a final day at sea lets you savor the open ocean breeze before your arrival in Marseille.
