A new chapter starts for the historic Venice Simplon-Orient Express train with the launch of routes in December to Florence, Paris, Venice and Vienna during the holiday season.
From Venice to Paris stopping at Florence
This is a unique opportunity to discover the Christmas markets and winter traditions of each city, with the train taking the classical route from Venice to Paris on 2 and 12 December and returning on 20 December. It will stop in Florence on 7 December (Venice-Paris) and 8 December (Paris-Venice) and will leave Paris for Vienna on 17 December, returning to Paris on 18 December.
Eight new suites to be added in 2023
The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express has 17 original carriages from the 1920s and 1930s, each with its own charm and history. The train has historic cabins and six grand suites, the quintessence of elegance and extravagance, with names that pay homage to the cities that inspired their décor, including Paris, Vienna and Venice. From June 2023 eight new suites will be added. These will feature, among other things, marble bathrooms and a lounge space that converts into double or single beds at night.
