The Bernina Express and Venice Simplon-Orient-Express to Venice

Rail journey from London to Venice via the Bernina Express and Orient-Express

Railbookers operates this 11-day, 10-night independent rail package connecting London to Venice by way of Switzerland, combining two named train journeys along the route. The Bernina Express carries travelers through the Swiss Alps near St Moritz, and the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express continues the journey in a private compartment, described as a way to travel in luxury while taking in the views. In Venice, the trip closes with time to explore the city's canals and history. As an independent rather than an escorted tour, travelers manage their own sightseeing at each stop while Railbookers arranges the train travel and logistics in between. Priced from $14,349 per person, about $1,304 a day, this is one of Railbookers' more expensive rail packages, built around two well-known named trains rather than an extended multi-city itinerary. It suits travelers looking for a landmark luxury rail experience paired with time in Venice.
