DAY 1: PARIS
Approximate departure: 3:00 p.m.
Step aboard the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and settle into the comfort of your private cabin. Then make your way to one of the beautifully restored restaurant cars, where an exquisite dinner awaits, prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients by our talented chefs.
After dinner, unwind in the elegant Bar Car 3674, lulled by the melodies of the pianist playing on the grand piano. When the evening draws to a close, return to your cabin, now transformed into a cozy retreat for a restful night’s sleep.
