La Dolce Vita Orient Express presents a new collection of journeys through the real Italy for 2027.
Some of Italy’s most evocative scenery
At the heart of every itinerary lies the belief that the journey can be just as extraordinary as the destination. Guests are thus invited to rediscover a slower, more immersive way of travelling, in which the rhythm of the train, the landscape outside and the pleasure of the journey become an integral part of the experience. Rome, Portofino, Venice and Tuscany are the stops on "From the Eternal City to the glamour of the Riviera, via Florence and La Serenissima." The itinerary takes in some of Italy’s most evocative scenery, with each stop showcasing a different facet of the country’s identity. From Rome, the train heads north towards Portofino and then Venice, and from the lagoon, the route finally leads to Florence.

The Italian Wine Route
Bolgheri and Verona, meanwhile, are the stops on “The Italian Wine Route,” which celebrates the country’s winemaking tradition stopping at Bolgheri and Verona, two destinations where exceptional terroir, gastronomy and centuries of tradition come together. Alba and the treasures of Piedmont feature on “The Truffle Route, which takes the La Dolce Vita Orient Express to Alba, in the heart of the Langhe. As well as truffles, the journey winds through the Langhe hills, where vineyards, historic villages and the famous Barolo and Barbaresco wines showcase the richness and refinement of Piedmont’s food and wine culture.
Savouring landscapes and flavours
Finally, from Rome to Venice via the vineyards of Bolgheri, the journey follows the changing Italian landscape, from the Tuscan countryside to the timeless beauty of the Venetian lagoon. With these new itineraries, La Dolce Vita Orient Express invites travellers to discover Italy from a different perspective: not merely reaching a destination, but savouring the landscapes, flavours and moments that unfold along the journey.
