Perhaps the world’s most famous and decadent train, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, A Belmond Train, is a truly magnificent way to travel. Life onboard is an elegant affair of fine dining and fine wines, where conversation and music continue into the night in the fabled Bar Car 3674, and midnight brunch is served.
There are several routes to choose from that travel between some of Europe’s most beautiful cities – the likes of Cannes, Rome, Florence, and Venice, with a new route that’ll take skiers from Paris to the snowy slopes of the French Alps from next December, too.
Lucky passengers can gaze out of the window of their cabin and watch incredible scenery roll by from the carriages of one of the most splendid trains of all time.
