La Dolce Vita Orient Express - Venice and Portofino with Sorrento

9-day La Dolce Vita Orient Express trip via Venice, Portofino and Sorrento

Railbookers sells this 9-day, 8-night trip as an independent rail package, meaning travelers plan their own days rather than follow an escorted guide. The route starts in Rome, described as the Eternal City, then moves to Venice and Portofino before returning to Rome and continuing on to Sorrento, where the description points to rugged cliffs meeting the azure Mediterranean along the Amalfi Coast. Travel between Rome, Venice, and Portofino runs aboard the La Dolce Vita Orient Express. 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 Rome's ancient history and the coastal scenery around Sorrento.
