Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, London to Verona or Venice

Enjoy an unforgettable trip through Europe's countryside before arriving in style at the home of opera, Verona or the romantic city of Venice.

Your journey starts at London Victoria and your holiday begins the moment you step off the platform and board the gleaming carriages of the Belmond British Pullman. Enjoy your brunch with a Bellini as you travel through the Kentish countryside towards Folkestone, where you will board a coach for your channel crossing on the Eurotunnel shuttle.

After crossing the Channel you will board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express for the journey of a lifetime. Enjoy a four-course dinner in one of the magnificent restaurant cars and visit the Bar Car to listen to the resident pianist play, before retiring back to your cabin which has been transformed into a cosy bedroom for the night.

Awake to the spectacular scenery of the Swiss Alps as a delicious continental breakfast is served in your cabin. After spending the morning relaxing in your cabin or in the Bar Car, enjoy a leisurely three-course lunch served in one of the beautiful restaurant cars. Admire the passing scenery as the train travels through the Italian Dolomites towards Verona and Venice. Afternoon tea is served in your cabin and then it is time to disembark at Verona’s Porta Nuova or Venice's Santa Lucia Station to start your Italian adventure.

Whichever itinerary you choose, sumptuous cuisine and attentive personal service make a journey on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion, or simply to enjoy an extra special holiday.
