Day One

Board for dinner and dancing

Board the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express in Brussels and settle into your plush private cabin. Admire the marquetry design, luxurious upholstery and gleaming finishings, framed by the soft lighting of ornate lamp shades. Against this elegant backdrop, your personal journey will slowly unfold.

Relax in the afternoon and soak up the views as the train travels through Belgium towards France.

As evening falls, it’s time to prepare for the night’s revelry. Dress code: fabulous. Take your seat for dinner in one of the dining cars, where the imagination of celebrated chef Jean Imbert informs both the décor and every dish. Seasonal specialities are accompanied by exceptional wines. Later, you may wish to soak up the animated ambience in Bar Car ‘3674’, where the resident pianist plays the baby grand and our talented bartenders conjure up classic cocktails.

Day Two

A New Day Calls...

Linger in your cabin as your steward serves a French breakfast, the perfect way to begin the day, especially combined with the mountain scenery through your window: the soaring mountains and glacial lakes of Switzerland’s Gotthard route. Return to Bar Car ‘3674’ to chat to your fellow travellers, or browse our onboard boutique for bespoke gifts and mementos.

A leisurely three-course lunch brings further gourmet pleasure, after which you can return to your cabin to read, reflect or simply gaze at the views. Before arriving in Venice, your steward serves a French goûter in your cabin. Be transfixed by the vistas as the train crosses the Venetian Lagoon and pulls into Santa Lucia Station, then disembark for your adventure in La Serenissima.
