Experience a world of luxury and glamour
The Orient Express is a name synonymous with luxury, romance, and the golden age of travel. The original Orient Express, which first ran in 1883, was the epitome of opulence and has been immortalised in literature, film, and history. Now, in an exciting revival, the Orient Express is set to return with a new chapter: La Dolce Vita. This modern adaptation promises to deliver the same timeless elegance and unparalleled luxury, blending classic charm with contemporary sophistication. Let’s delve into what makes the new Orient Express La Dolce Vita an extraordinary journey.
A Journey Through History and Beauty
The new Orient Express La Dolce Vita is not just a luxury train ride; it is an experience that takes passengers on a breathtaking journey through some of Italy’s most iconic and picturesque landscapes. The route encompasses 16,000 kilometres of railway lines across 14 regions, including UNESCO World Heritage sites and untouched scenic routes, from the snow-capped Alps in Piedmont to the serene beaches of Sicily.
Travellers will be able to choose from six unique itineraries, each one crafted to highlight the rich culture, stunning landscapes, and culinary delights of Italy. Whether you are a history buff, a foodie, or simply someone who appreciates the finer things in life, there is an itinerary tailored for you.
Luxurious Interiors and Impeccable Service
Stepping onto the Orient Express La Dolce Vita, guests are greeted with an ambiance that brings you back to the golden age of travel. The interiors, designed by Dimorestudio, blend vintage charm with modern luxury. Rich wood panelling, plush velvet upholstery, and intricate detailing evoke the elegance of the 1960s Italian design, creating a cosy yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Each suite is a private sanctuary, complete with luxurious amenities and attentive service. The train features 12 deluxe cabins, 18 suites, and a “La Dolce Vita” suite that offers the ultimate in luxury and comfort. Guests can relax in their well-appointed quarters or socialise in the lavish dining and lounge cars. The luxury hospitality is simply exquisite.

From fresh seafood on the Amalfi Coast to rich truffle dishes in the countryside of Piedmont, the gastronomic journey is as memorable as the landscapes passing by the window.
A Commitment to Sustainability
In keeping with contemporary values, the Orient Express La Dolce Vita places a strong emphasis on sustainability. The train is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to minimise its environmental impact, ensuring that this luxurious experience is also an eco-conscious one.
