La Dolce Vita Orient Express - From Rome to Sicily with Milan and Florence

13-day independent rail package from Milan and Florence to Sicily via Rome

Railbookers sells this as an independent rail package covering 13 days and 12 nights in Italy. It begins with two nights each in Milan and Florence, built around their art, culture, and history, then two more nights in Rome, before travelers board the La Dolce Vita Orient Express for a rail journey south. The destinations listed for the trip also include Maratea, Taormina, Palermo, and Naples, giving the package a long, north to south route through the country that combines city time with a stretch aboard a named luxury train. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers move between these stops on their own rather than as part of a guided group. It suits travelers who want one long Italy itinerary that pairs major cities such as Milan, Florence, and Rome with the Orient Express journey into southern Italy, rather than a short rail-only trip.

What to know before you look closer

  • The evidence available for this package does not include a day-by-day itinerary, so exact hotel names, meal inclusions, and which specific days include the Orient Express rail segment are not confirmed here; check these details with Railbookers before booking.
  • This is listed as an independent rail package rather than an escorted tour, so time between the city stays and the rail journey is not led by a tour manager.
