Travel to Paris from London on the Eurostar before beginning your journey on the Venice Simplon-Orient Express. Whilst you may be able to take an early morning departure on the Eurostar, we highly recommend travelling to Paris the day before and staying overnight in this wonderful city. Your Travel Consultant can arrange this for you.
On the day of your Venice Simplon-Orient-Express departure, the luxury navy and gold Continental Wagons-Lits of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express train will be waiting to whisk you across the country and into Switzerland. Departure time will be approximately 16:30 from Paris. Throughout your journey to Italy, you will be attended by your own personal Steward. After you have settled into your comfortable private cabin 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 the train’s 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 cabin, which has now been transformed into a cosy bedroom. (L,D)
