It is possible that diesel or electric traction may have to be substituted at short notice. In this event, a full or partial refund may be applied.
How can I get on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express?
The British Pullman train used to form a crucial part of the Venice Simplon-Orient Express’ journeys, transporting guests between London to Folkestone, and then to Paris, initiating the start of their European journey. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case – but we invite you to discover our signature adventures like the Murder Mystery Lunch, based on Agatha Christie’s thrilling Murder on the Orient Express. A great option for our guests who simply wish to be whisked back to a more elegant era.
