Travelling from Venice to Paris can be quite a long journey, but that doesn’t mean it has to be a chore; on the elegant Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, which will take you from Venice to Paris on an overnight journey lasting upwards of 24 hours, you’ll have the chance to enjoy this unapologetic extravagance and complete comfort. Everything about the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is exquisite, from the furnishings in the cabins and the food you’ll enjoy in one of the onboard restaurant, to the refined entertainment and the attentive service. During your first day onboard, which will see you travel through Milan and towards the Simplon Pass, you’ll have the chance to indulge in an extravagant evening meal before a night of revelry. The table d'hôte menu presented by Chef Jean Imbert during dinner harks back to the majesty of travel’s golden age with a sumptuous selection of decadent dishes to indulge in. As the sun sets and evening arrives, you’ll then be invited to follow the sound of a grand piano to the bar car, where a resident pianist will set the tone of the evening’s entertainment; here, you’ll be able to enjoy cocktails carefully mixed by classically-trained bar staff, renditions of all your favourites, and engaging conversations with like-minded travellers. Before heading to bed, even more indulgence awaits in the form of the Midnight Brunch; with succulent lobster rolls and truffled club sandwiches on the menu, there’s no better way to celebrate an exciting evening on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and cement the new-found friendships you’ve forged throughout the evening. On the morning of your second day, after unwinding amid plush furnishings and handcrafted furniture in the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express’ carefully restored 1920s cabins, you’ll be met with stunning views of the mountainous Simplon Pass and the surrounding countryside. These remarkable views can be enjoyed in the comfort of your luxurious cabin during breakfast, with an attentive steward serving a beautiful spread of breakfast items at the time of your choosing, or you can join other travellers in one of the restaurant cars for an extravagant feast of smoked salmon, truffles, caviar, and more. As you continue towards Paris, passing through Lausanne, you’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy a leisurely three-course lunch – an elevated experience where each dish is carefully created using fresh locally sourced ingredients and paired with the perfect wine by the resident sommelier. Throughout the afternoon, you’ll have the opportunity to socialise with your fellow travellers and relish in the refined ambiance available onboard. An afternoon tea service is also available onboard, with fresh pastries, coffee, and an extensive tea selection awaits. By the late afternoon, you’ll find yourself arriving in the French capital, where the next stage of your journey awaits. This luxurious experience is the epitome of indulgence and class, and certainly something you won’t forget anytime soon.
