Tailor Made Rail · Luxury train journey

Savour an unforgettable journey aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, travelling the twice-yearly route from Amsterdam to Venice with two nights in the Dutch capital before your departure and two nights in Venice on arrival.
Take a direct train this morning from London St Pancras to Amsterdam. The journey is just over 4 hours and on arrival, you'll be checking in for a 2-night stay at the Hotel Pulitzer (or similar). A cruise along Amsterdam's famous canals is always a good way to get your bearings.
Enjoy a full day at leisure in Amsterdam. This is the perfect city for simply wandering, with all the main sights within walking distance of each other, or hire a bike for the day. The Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank's House, the Rijksmuseum and the National Maritime Museum are all worth a visit.
After breakfast in your hotel, return to the station for your journey aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Once settled into your cabin, make your way to one of the dining cars for a three-course lunch, then get dressed up for your lavish evening meal. Your cabin will be transformed into a cosy bedroom by your steward overnight.
Your steward will serve a continental breakfast in your cabin, and you'll take in the mountain scenery of Switzerland before a gastronomic three-course lunch back in one of the restaurant cars. The train pulls into Venice Santa Lucia station at the end of the journey; take a shared transfer to the Ca' Sagredo Hotel (or similar) for a 2-night stay.
A unique city made up of 118 islands linked by canals and bridges. Visit St Mark's Square with its Basilica, or one of the galleries like the Accademia or the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, and explore the narrow streets and hidden campos on foot.
Time to leave Venice for your return journey to the UK. You can either book your own flight home or ask us to add a return journey by rail via a different Alpine route with a stop in Lausanne or Zurich.
