Venice Simplon-Orient-Express Itinerary

Day One: As you board the gleaming carriages of the British Pullman train at London Victoria station, your steward will show you to your reserved seat. Sit back and enjoy a three course lunch with wine and a glass of champagne as you make your way to Folkestone. On arrival, transfer to Cheriton by coach where you board the Eurotunnel train to France. Uniformed hostesses will escort you throughout your journey. At Calais Ville the immaculate Wagons- Lits carriages of the Continental train await you.

Throughout the journey you will be attended by your own personal steward. After you have settled into your comfortable private compartment it will soon be time to dress for dinner. Why not sip a pre-dinner cocktail before making your way to one of the magnificent restaurant cars. Here you will be served a delicious four course dinner, prepared by skilled French chefs. After dinner you may want to linger in the bar car, listening to the sound of the baby grand piano. When you are ready, retire to your compartment which has now been transformed into a cosy bedroom.

Day Two: You awake to the magnificent scenery of the Swiss Alps as breakfast is served in your compartment at a time to suit you. Spend the morning in the Bar Car chatting to fellow guests over coffee. Enjoy a leisurely three course lunch served in another of the beautiful restaurant cars. While away the afternoon with a visit to the onboard Boutique, or relax in your compartment and admire passing scenery as the train travels through the Italian Dolomites. Later, afternoon tea is served in your compartment as you travel through the Brenner Pass. All too soon it is time to prepare to disembark as the train crosses the Venetian Lagoon and pulls into Santa Lucia station.
