Overnight luxury train from Paris to Venice on the Orient-Express

Belmond operates this two-day, one-night journey aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, running from Paris to Venice. After boarding in Paris and settling into a private 1920s-styled cabin, travelers dress for a formal evening of dinner service, with Chef Jean Imbert's seasonal menu paired with sommelier-selected wines in one of the restaurant cars, followed by cocktails and a resident pianist in Bar Car '3674'. The train travels overnight, and the next day unfolds slowly: a French breakfast is served in the cabin as the train crosses Switzerland's Gotthard route in daylight, with mountains and glacial lakes visible from the window, followed by a three-course lunch and time to browse the onboard boutique before arrival at Santa Lucia Station in Venice. Dedicated steward service runs throughout. This suits travelers who want a single, self-contained luxury experience rather than a multi-stop touring itinerary, with formal dining and a slower pace built into the schedule.
Board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express in Paris and settle into a private cabin, admiring the marquetry, upholstery and lamp shades. Dress for dinner (dress code: fabulous / formal evening attire) and take a seat in one of the dining cars for Chef Jean Imbert's seasonal menu and sommelier-selected wines. Later, enjoy cocktails and a resident pianist in Bar Car '3674'.
A French breakfast is served in the cabin as the train crosses Switzerland's Gotthard route, past soaring mountains and glacial lakes. A leisurely three-course lunch follows, with time to browse the onboard boutique. A French gouter is served before the train crosses the Venetian Lagoon and arrives at Santa Lucia Station, Venice.
