THE MAKING OF

A LEGEND

oard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and

by film stars, royalty and even spies. Launched in

1883, the magnificent Orient Express has taken passengers

such as King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, Marlene Dietrich,

Mata-Hari and Grace Kelly across Europe in unsurpassable

style. Restored to life in 1982, the train today is still one of

the most desired travel experiences in the world, its blend

of sumptuous décor, gourmet dining and unmistakable

romance exerting an irresistible allure. Celebrate the true

joy of travel as you relish a more relaxed pace of a bygone

age and become part of the legend.

B

From your relaxing cabin to our attentive and welcoming team,

you will experience rail travel in true vintage style.

highlight of your

time on board

the Venice

Simplon-Orient-Express is

the superb service you will

receive. Each member of

our team—train manager,

stewards, chefs, waiters and

bar staff—is committed to

creating the best possible

experience from the

moment you board the

legendary train. One of our

devoted staff is Head Chef

Christian Bodiguel (above

left), who has worked with

us for 30 years. Indeed, his

sublime cuisine is an

unforgettable part of your

journey. Using fresh

ingredients, many sourced

along the route, Christian

creates dishes that combine

classic French cuisine with

innovative twists. His

creations—which might

include roast gilt-head

bream and carpaccio of

scallops and raspberry

macaroons with Szechwan

pepper ice cream—will linger

in your memory long after

the flavours have vanished.

Our team is dedicated to making your time on board as special as possible.

A

Our chefs create a truly memorable on-board fine dining experience.

TASTES OF DISTINCTION


The craftsmanship of the train carriages is

astounding. Each original, 1920s car has

been carefully restored and has its very own

distinct character.

Glance around and your eyes will naturally

dwell on exquisite touches such as ornate

marquetry with delicate floral patterns by Art

Deco master René Prou, elaborately engraved

glass panels by René Lalique, black lacquer panels

decorated in Oriental style, silk lampshades,

bespoke porcelain… all of which combine to

create a sensation of unashamed vintage luxury.

Each of the original 1920s cars has played

an important role in luxury train travel.

greeted by your steward, who will be on hand to

assist you throughout your journey, and settled

into your cabin, taking in all its delightful detailing. It won’t

be long before your first mouth-watering brunch, lunch or

FINE DINING There are three

Restaurant Cars to choose

from: the floral marquetry of

“Etoile du Nord”, the Lalique

glass panels of “Côte d’Azur”

or the exotic black lacquer

of “L’Oriental”. Tables are

dressed in fine white linen,

fresh flowers and sparkling

silver. Table d’hôte menus

are prepared by Head Chef

Christian Bodiguel and

his team. Fine wines and

champagnes are available

at an additional cost. Please

notify us of any dietary

requirements when booking.

THE BAR CAR offers a

glamorous setting for aperitifs

and nightcaps before or after

dinner. As well as the buzz of

happy guests chatting, you

can listen to our resident

pianist on the baby grand.

DRESS CODE One thing is

certain: you can never be

overdressed. Many gentlemen

choose to wear black tie

for dinner while ladies don

elegant cocktail dresses.

At the least, we ask gentlemen

to wear a jacket and tie for

dinner. During the day, smart-

casual is the norm, excluding

jeans and sport shoes.

THE BOUTIQUE offers

an array of exclusive

monogrammed gifts—a unique

memento of your journey.

To enjoy additional comfort and extra space,

why not reserve a Cabin Suite formed of two

interconnecting Double Cabins? You can keep one

cabin as a living area and use the upper and lower

berths in the other cabin for sleeping.

Our Double Cabins feature upper and lower berths

while Single Cabins have one lower berth. Crisp

damask sheets and fine blankets contribute to a cosy

and restful atmosphere at night; during the day, the

berths are transformed to offer comfortable banquette

seating from which to admire the views.

Chic, romantic Paris is known as the

“city of love”: couples stroll hand in hand along

its grand boulevards and ornate bridges; relax

in sunny pavement cafés and browse its

fragrant flower markets. The French capital is

also home to some of the world’s most iconic

attractions: the Mona Lisa, Notre Dame and

the Eiffel Tower, to name a few.

L O N D O N

The English capital juxtaposes ancient history

with contemporary culture to fascinating effect.

At its centre, super-modern skyscrapers such

as The Shard sit cheek-by-jowl with historic

landmarks like the Tower of London. Immerse

yourself in world-famous museums,

sizzling West End shows and sensational

shops, or simply sit by the Thames and gaze.

Our train takes you to the most vibrant destinations in Europe, from timeless cities

such as Venice and Istanbul to the buzzing capitals of Paris and Stockholm.

CITIES TO TAKE YOUR

BREATH AWAY


I S T A N B U L

Istanbul combines East and West, old and new, like no other city: silks and spices are

piled high in the Grand Bazaar as the ululating

cry of the muezzin rings out over streets lined with slick bars. Nibble on fragrant Turkish delight while the sun beats down on the Blue Mosque and fishermen cast their

lines into the Bosphorus.

B U D A P E S T

Two vast cities, Buda and Pest, join across

the River Danube to form the Hungarian capital. Built on a series of geothermal springs, the city is

a renowned spa-lovers’ paradise. It is also famed for its café culture: sample a slice of Dobos torte at Café Gerbeaud,

the oldest coffee house in the city.

S T O C K H O L M

Spread over 14 islands, the historic Swedish capital offers a breath of fresh air—

not just for its breezy position but for its forward-

thinking attitude. Explore magnificent buildings such as the Royal Palace and City Hall, the fashionable boutiques of Norrmalm or the

natural attractions of Djurgården, and discover cool bars on every corner.

V E N I C E

Italy’s floating city has inspired a thousand poets

and artists, from Byron to Canaletto. Just as they were, be inspired by the exceptional delights

that await you at every turn, from world-famous sights—the Grand Canal, Rialto Bridges and St Mark’s Square with the Basilica—to pretty

little canals and charming piazzas.

P R A G U E

With its blend of baroque, Renaissance, Art Nouveau and neoclassical architecture, quaint, winding streets bursting with history and star

attractions such as the Charles Bridge and Astronomical Clock, the Czech capital’s appeal is undeniable. Between sightseeing, make time

to sample its delicious independent beers or dine on hearty but refined fare.

V I E N N A

Grand palaces and pristine parks characterise the

Austrian capital and former seat of the Hapsburg Empire—as do waltzes, opera (Mozart, Beethoven

and Strauss are former residents) and coffee houses. Stroll around the hip MuseumsQuartier, browse the boutiques on the Kohlmarkt and sup

on schnitzels, strudel and spritzers.

Clockwise, from far left: see the remarkable sights of Venice by gondola; the modern glass entrance to The Louvre museum, Paris;

Stockholm’s many islands are connected by bridges; take a tour of Prague by horse and cart; and the stunning interior of Istanbul’s Blue Mosque.

From supporting Venice in Peril to setting up an agricultural school in Peru, our philosophy is to act in an ethical

manner and to support initiatives that help local people in the environments in which we operate.

A COMMUNITY SPIRIT

elmond is committed to responsible tourism:

we place great emphasis on supporting local

communities and establishing sustainable

practices wherever our trains and cruises operate.

We strive to exert a positive influence on the lives of

local inhabitants and to protect sites of global cultural

importance. Whether working with community food

projects, or helping to protect animal species, we aim to

assist in ways appropriate to each location.

The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express has long

supported Venice in Peril, raising funds for projects such

as the restoration of architectural treasures. In Myanmar,

where we operate two river cruisers—Belmond Road To

Mandalay and Belmond Orcaella—we have supported

the construction of schools and medical centres and

furnished them with equipment. In Peru, where we run

the Belmond Hiram Bingham train, we have instigated

an agricultural and animal husbandry school and

support local farmers with fair trade purchasing. We

constantly seek ways to engage and help.
