Venice is the starting point of this special journey to another city of splendour - imperial Vienna. These two contrasting destinations each boast a fascinating history and a wealth of delights for the visitor.
VENICE - VIENNA - LONDON

Wednesday : Board the splendid Wagons-Lits carriages of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express at Venice Santa Lucia station. Throughout your journey you will be attended by your own personal steward. After you have settled into your comfortable compartment it will soon be time to dress for dinner. Why not sip an aperitif in the Bar Car, listening to the sounds of the baby grand piano before taking your seat in one of the beautifully restored restaurant cars. After dinner you may want to linger in the bar and when you are ready you can retire to your compartment, which has now been transformed into a cosy bedroom.

Enjoy a brandy or liqueur with convivial company in the Bar before retiring for the night.
Sunday : Continental breakfast is brought to you by your steward as you travel towards Paris. A delicious brunch is served in the restaurant cars as you travel on towards the Channel. After crossing the Channel board the cream and umber carriages of the British Pullman for the journey to London.
