Istanbul
Venice Simplon-Orient-Express
When one says the Orient-Express, he is generally referring to this iconic train. The ultimate in luxury train travel, this train takes guests on the classic journey from Paris to Istanbul. The art deco interiors in the authentic vintage carriages and the gracious service take one back to the glamorous age of train travel of the 1920s and 30s. Other itineraries include London to Venice or Rome as well as those that stop in Prague, Dresden, Krakow, Bucharest, Budapest, and Vienna. The three restaurants on the train (Etoile du Nord, Cote d’Azur, and L' Oriental) ensure that no guest eats the same thing twice – unless he or she wants to! All meals are freshly prepared on board by French chefs of the finest supplies that are acquired throughout the journey.
While traveling in private cabins, passengers are attended by cabin stewards throughout the journey. Each cabin is beautifully decorated in mahogany panels and Art Deco floral and leaf patterns. During the day, the cabin is a lovely seating area where guests can enjoy tea, and at night, while guests dine, the steward transforms the cabin into a comfortable bedroom with soft towels and crisp linens.
