The Gems of Italy and the La Dolce Vita Orient Express - From Rome to Sicily

Luxury 13-day Italy rail package featuring the La Dolce Vita Orient Express

Railbookers operates this 13-day, 12-night independent rail package that starts in Rome and finishes in Sicily, taking in seven Italian destinations along the way. The trip opens with two nights in Rome, then continues by rail aboard the La Dolce Vita Orient Express before two-night stays in Venice and Florence. From there the route continues to Maratea, Taormina, Palermo, and Naples, though the evidence pack does not specify the order or number of nights in each of those four stops. Because this is sold as an independent rail package rather than an escorted tour, travelers make their own way between stops rather than following a group leader. The evidence pack does not name the hotels used in any city, so comfort standard depends on details Railbookers can confirm directly. At $14,499 USD per person, this suits travelers who want one marquee rail journey, the La Dolce Vita Orient Express, built into a longer independent tour of Italy that also reaches Sicily.
