Make Your Trip to Europe 10x Better

The legendary Orient Express continues to capture travelers’ imaginations as it returns to the rails of Europe in renewed grandeur. Once known as the most elegant way to cross the continent, the train now combines its Art Deco heritage with modern comfort, offering a travel experience that feels both cinematic and personal.

A Journey Through History

First launched in 1883, the Orient Express became a symbol of sophistication, mystery, and adventure. Its original route stretched from Paris to Istanbul, carrying diplomats, artists, and royalty through Europe’s cultural capitals. The modern revival continues that legacy, following a route from Paris through Vienna, Budapest, and Bucharest, before reaching Istanbul. The restored carriages preserve their 1920s style with polished wood, gold trim, and velvet seating, while the service and cuisine reflect contemporary European luxury.

The Experience Onboard

Each cabin has been reimagined to balance vintage elegance with today’s expectations. Guests can choose from private compartments or larger suites featuring plush bedding, marble sinks, and expansive windows framing Europe’s countryside. Dining remains a highlight, with multi-course meals prepared by Michelin-trained chefs who source ingredients from markets along the route. The bar car, complete with a grand piano, serves champagne, cocktails, and late-night music that sets the tone for relaxed sophistication.

Routes and Reservations

The current service operates several routes across Europe throughout the year, with the most popular being Paris to Venice and Paris to Istanbul. Shorter journeys include Paris to Prague and Venice to Vienna. Each trip lasts between one and six nights depending on the itinerary.

Tickets can be booked directly through the Orient Express or authorized luxury travel agencies. Prices begin around €3,000 per person for overnight experiences, while longer cross-continent journeys can reach €20,000 depending on cabin type and inclusions.
