The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is more than just a train; every journey feels like a special occasion and transports passengers back to an era when embarking on a journey was a glamorous and stylish affair which required fine-dining and high fashion. The classic journey begins in Paris at lunchtime and arrives in Venice the following afternoon, or travels from Venice in the morning and arrives in Paris the following morning.

Our suggested itinerary below combines the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express with two nights in Venice, however we would be delighted to tailor the holiday to your requirements - please call our expert team for advice.
