Board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express to enter a living legend where time slows and heritage meets modern elegance. Between plush cabins and palpable history, an astonishing journey awaits.
When the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express embarked on its first voyage, a new era of travel was born. It was an iconic moment in time, inspiring artists, socialites and actors alike. Throughout the twentieth century, our train has held a distinguished role in the art of continental travel.
With grand interiors and flowing champagne, we pioneered the most magnificent mode of transport to tour Europe and her finest cities. With a history for hosting famed parties and intriguing guests, among them spies, authors, ambassadors and royalty, our journeys have developed a reputation for memorable connections made over fine dining and late night toasts. Then and now, guests are surrounded by unrivalled furnishings, marquetry design and legendary artefacts – each with a story of their own.
