The Venice-Simplon -Orient Express: all aboard!

Northern Italy Special feature

Climb onboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and open your eyes to a truly mythical journey across Europe from Paris to Venice. Onboard the train, its carriages will bowl you over with their historical charm and luxury. Feel yourself sink into the mid-40s; the golden age of film and detective series. Dress up in your most elegant outfit for dinner in the pantry carriage; a veritable cocoon where champagne knows no limits and where pristine white tablecloths underline a meticulous table of china and silverware.
