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 highlights the cosmopolitan ambiance of Zurich alongside the ancient charm of Rome.

It suits travelers who want a named luxury train experience combined with time in Italy and Switzerland.
