This Luxury European Train Has A New Italian Riviera Itinerary For 2024
The venice simplon orient express is ready to take guests on a brand-new adventure in 2024 to the italian riviera..
By Stacey Leasca Published on Dec 21, 2023, 01:00 PM IST
Train travellers will have one more ultra-chic way to get from point A to point B in 2024.
Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, A Belmond Train, announced a brand new journey through Europe that’s set to begin in June of next year. The trip, the company explained in a statement provided to Travel + Leisure , will journey from Paris to Portofino along the Italian Riviera. It will mark the first time the company’s trains will visit the region in its 40-year history.
Venice Simplon-Orient-Express announces a new Italian Riviera itinerary
“This new, annual overnight journey will see the train winding through the French countryside and along the coastline of the Mediterranean Riviera, concluding at Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino , where guests will reside for two nights,” the company said.
Once at the hotel, guests will sit down for a meal by the train’s beloved chef, Jean Imbert, for a bespoke tasting menu.
The three-night journey departs Paris on June 20, where guests can check into their onboard rooms — each is filled with art deco touches that harken back to the golden age of rail travel. The locomotive has been upgraded to include eight brand-new suites, so now guests can choose from three room categories. This includes the train’s top-tier category, the Grand Suites, which is decorated to resemble a famed European city, including Paris, Venice, Istanbul, Vienna, Prague, and Budapest.

As the train snakes through Dijon, Lyon, and Avignon, guests can enjoy a bit of entertainment in the piano lounge, or get a bite to eat in the restaurant cars. The company promises each course will be paired with handpicked wines from its private collection.
In the morning, breakfast is served in the privacy of guests’ cabins so they can enjoy a slow few hours, sipping coffee and gazing out the window at the glorious view rolling by. That includes views of Ventimiglia, Savona, and Genoa, before pulling into Santa Margherita Ligure to then check into Splendido for the remaining two nights. The trip concludes with an exclusive film screening under the stars at Portofino’s famed Piazzetta, so guests can take in those epic views too.
Prices for the train trip begin at about USD 8,525 (INR 7,08,749) per person. Prices are based on two guests sharing a Historic Cabin on the train and a Garden View Room at Splendido.

Train to Perm
September 11, 2019 We have an unholy departure meeting time in the lobby at 3:30am to depart the hotel and catch our long-distance train across Siberia. This will be our home for the next two weeks, with a private train car that is uncoupled from the train at every stop and then rejoined as we continue the journey. This is our first long transit, departing Nizhny Novgorod at 4:50am and arriving in Perm at 9:41pm the same day (2 hours time change means we were on the train 16 hours). I must confess that I spent a good deal of that time catching up on sleep lost during our tours of St. Petersburg and Moscow, but the views of the forests and villages out the train window were spectacular. Here are a few scenes from our day…
After arriving in Perm at 9:41pm we have a bus take us to our hotel for a free evening. Tomorrow we tour ice caves!
