Rome to Paris on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

Rail journey from Rome to Paris on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

Railbookers operates this 7-day, 6-night independent rail package pairing Rome and Paris, joined by a journey on board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. The description calls Rome the Eternal City and Paris the City of Light, and describes the train itself as the world's most famous, with the sights and sounds of both cities and the experience of the journey said to live long in the memory. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, Railbookers arranges the train travel and city stays while travelers explore Rome and Paris on their own schedule. The description does not say how the six nights split between the two cities or confirm whether the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express journey includes an overnight on board. It suits travelers drawn to a landmark train experience as much as to Rome and Paris themselves. Prices start from $6,899 per person.
