To embark on a voyage aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is to become part of its ever-changing history.
As the gleaming carriages arrive into the station and the uniformed steward welcomes guests aboard, they’ll know that the journey of a lifetime has begun.
Though associated with the glamour of the Roaring Twenties, the golden age of travel is still alive and well today. Passengers will savour beautiful surroundings, dine on spectacular cuisine, and connect with like-minded adventurers united in the shared joy of travel.
The Venice Simplon-Orient- Express is quite unlike anything else your clients will have experienced. Carriages date to the 1920s and ‘30s, lovingly restored to their former glory to recreate one of the finest luxury experiences the world has ever known.
During the day, Double Cabins are configured as a lounge with a banquette sofa, footstool and small table. At night the cabin becomes a cosy bedroom with an upper and lower bed.
In keeping with the tradition of the train all cabins have their own washbasin cabinet with hot and cold water, complete with soft towels, soap, dressing robes and slippers. A lavatory is situated at the end of each carriage.
The Bar Car 3674 serves as an elegant social hub by day, and a lively piano bar by night – the place to be seen sipping cocktails and singing along to classic tunes as the train sweeps through stunning landscapes.
Suitcase Travel have put together a number of suggested itineraries to combine with Venice Simplon-Orient-Express from short weekends to longer stays that include multi-city, touring and cruising.
