About

Recommended for:
Rail journey

Enjoyed across three memorable days, this short but luxurious trip is the perfect introduction to luxury rail travel and the legendary glamour of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. You’ll begin with a flight to Italy’s floating city and a luxury stay among its iconic canals. Then, having transferred by water taxi to Santa Lucia Station, you’ll step aboard those famous blue-and-gold carriages to be transported back to travel’s golden age. Indeed, between its Art-Deco fineries, fine dining and immaculate service, there’s no better way to experience the sheer beauty of alpine Europe as you make your way across Switzerland to Paris. It’s then just a short hop via Eurostar from the French capital to London and your journey’s end.

Day by day itinerary

Day 1
UK to Venice

Your holiday begins with included UK airport lounge access before your flight to Venice. On arrival, you’ll be transferred to your city-centre hotel, ideally located near the train station and next to the Grand Canal. In fact, you’ll be perfectly placed to explore all of Venice’s wonders, from iconic St Mark’s Square to Harry’s Bar and the myriad delights of the city’s hidden waterways.

Stay: Santa Chiara (Superior)

Day 2
The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

After a leisurely breakfast, you’ll take a water taxi transfer to Santa Lucia Station where the famous carriages of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express await. Step aboard and settle into your chosen accommodation – a Historic Cabin, Suite or Grand Suite – then relax as the spectacular landscapes of Northern Italy, then Austria, unfold. It’s all enjoyed alongside a smorgasbord of culinary delights, from a sumptuous lunch to a decadent, multi-course dinner. Of course, you won’t want to miss the chance for a nightcap in the bar car before retiring to your cabin as you continue your journey north.
