tour europe aboard the most famous luxury train in the world
Afternoon tea aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express (pictured).
The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express rounds a bend near Lucerne, Switzerland..
 
Travel FeatureIts mere mention conjurs images of international glamour and intrigue. So powerful is its hold on our imaginations that, for over a century, the Orient Express has remained synonymous with affluence, quality and grace. Many are surprised to learn that the splendid train was actually sidelined in the 1970s as the artifact of a forgotten age. In fact, when Venice Simplon set out to regenerate the tattered remnants of Europe's legendary train, skeptics abounded.
 
Two decades later, VS's unwavering commitment to excellence has converted even the most vocal naysayer. The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express , today more than ever, sets the standard to which all luxury rail travel aspires.
 
Those attempting to define VSOE magnetism are frequently tongue-tied by a sum greater than its parts. To enumerate the train's many attributes is not enough. From the brilliantly restored pre-war carriages to the continental gourmet menus to the refined but outgoing staff... there is a transcendency at work that woos and embraces each VSOE guest. And if the journey is one filled with romance... the destinations are magical: London, Paris, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Venice, Rome and, of course, Istanbul.
 
The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express operates a wide range of journeys designed to easily accomodate individual schedules, budgets and preferences. Travel extends from overnight two day itineraries to Premier Journeys lasting five nights and six days. Trains run between the months of March and November.
