A gondola ride along the canals offers a classic Venetian experience, while a walk across the famous Rialto Bridge provides excellent views of the Grand Canal.

Journey aboard the iconic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express 

Travelling overnight from Venice to Paris aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is one of the most iconic rail journeys in the world. From the moment you step onto the beautifully restored train in Venice, you are immersed in the glamour of the Golden Age of travel. Rich marquetry, polished wood panels, Art Deco details and impeccable service evoke the romance and sophistication of the 1920s, transforming the journey into an experience rather than simply a means of transport.

A stay in a Historic Cabin offers the most authentic way to experience the legendary train. Each cabin is unique, housed within original carriages dating from the 1920s and 1930s, and features elegant upholstery, handcrafted woodwork and period details. During the day, the cabin serves as a comfortable private lounge, while in the evening your dedicated steward transforms it into a cosy sleeping compartment with crisp linens and attentive service throughout the night.

As the train winds through the Italian countryside and onwards towards France, guests enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea, cocktails in the famous Bar Car '3674' and a sumptuous four-course dinner accompanied by carefully selected wines. The atmosphere is enhanced by the resident pianist, whose music provides the perfect soundtrack to an evening of elegance and conversation. After a restful night's sleep, breakfast is served in your cabin as ever-changing landscapes glide past your window.

The journey concludes with a scenic approach into Paris, arriving the following afternoon. More than a train ride, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is a celebration of timeless luxury, offering travellers the rare opportunity to relive the golden era of European rail travel while enjoying some of the finest hospitality on the rails.
