Venice Simplon-Orient-Express
Restored 1920s carriages between Paris and Venice, with special routes across Europe each year.
The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is Belmond's best-known train, with restored Art Deco carriages from the 1920s. The classic overnight route links Paris and Venice, running from March to December. Dinner in the restaurant cars is a formal affair, and the bar car fills with piano music in the evening. Guests from London usually connect to Paris by Eurostar.
Each year also brings special journeys, such as Paris to Vienna and Prague, and the annual Paris to Istanbul trip. A Paris to Amalfi Coast route via Pompeii returns in June 2027. From May 2027, some Paris to Venice journeys also call at Monte Carlo.
