La Dolce Vita Orient Express - Venice and Portofino with Paris and Zurich

10-day La Dolce Vita Orient Express trip via Venice, Paris and Zurich

Railbookers sells this 10-day, 9-night trip as an independent rail package, meaning travelers plan their own days rather than follow an escorted guide. The route links Rome, Venice, and Portofino, with Rome bookending the trip at both the start and the end, and adds two-night stays in Paris and Zurich, taking the trip beyond Italy into France and Switzerland. Travel between Venice, Portofino, and Rome runs aboard the La Dolce Vita Orient Express, described by the operator as a luxury travel package built around Italy's history, culture, and scenery. The description also points to the sophisticated streets of Paris and the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Zurich. Because it is independent rather than escorted, travelers make their own way between stops rather than following a tour manager. It suits travelers who want a named luxury train experience combined with time in three European countries.
