There are both single cabins and double cabins on-board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, all of which have a washbaisn, hot and cold water, towels, bathrobes and slippers, and a deluxe range of toiletries. Cabins offer a banquette sofa for seating during the day, that converts to one upper and one lower bed at night.
Guests requiring extra comfort and space can book a Cabin Suite which consists of two interconnecting Double Cabins.
Within three separate carriages, expert French chefs prepare timeless classics, modern French dishes and 1920's-style afternoon teas comprising delicate custard slices, cakes and sandwiches. At night, dine on Champagne risotto at a table laden with crisp linens, silver and glass wear before waking to a brunch of smoked salmon crumpets complete with a glass of Bellini.
Culture & History
The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, one of the world's most famous luxury trains, is a work of art and a true symbol of Art Deco design. The beautifully restored 1920s, 30s and 50s coaches present the most elegant way to travel, recalling a much-lauded bygone era. The splendour of the 'Roaring Twenties' may have passed by, but the elegance and art of travelling in style is much sought-after today. Cities that have a close historical connection with the train are Paris, Istanbul and Venice, of course, and the train offers journeys between each of the cities, lasting from one to five nights.
