Orient Express La Dolce Vita: the train

Almost 140 years after the departure of the first Orient Express, the Accor Group, owner of the Orient Express La Dolce Vita brand, adds a new chapter to the history of this legendary train. Far from the 1930s decor we're used to seeing on luxury trains, the decorators of OE-La Dolce Vita have chosen to pay homage to the Italy of the 1960s. The world of luxury and refinement thus intersects with that of Italian elegance, carefreeness and the gentle way of life.

The Orient Express la Dolce Vita has 12 cars: 7 passenger cars (for a maximum of 62 passengers), 1 40-seat restaurant car (2 services), 1 40-seat bar car (with piano).
The 7 passenger cars accommodate 12 Deluxe cabins, 18 Suites, 1 Suite La Dolce Vita. All cabins have their own bathroom.
