Experience the most iconic route aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express - a legendary six-day journey from Istanbul to Paris.
Each year, the train’s original 1920s and 1930s carriages retrace storied lines through Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria, and France, just as generations of travellers have done before. Along the way, explore the vibrant bazaars of Istanbul, Bucharest’s grand boulevards, the fairytale turrets of Sinaia, Budapest’s famed thermal baths, and finally, the sparkling lights of Paris.
Day 1: Istanbul
Day 2: Bucharest
Day 3: Sinaia

Yet, it’s the life onboard that truly defines the journey: settle into your elegant cabin, savour exquisite dinners, and gather in Bar Car ‘3674’ as Europe unfolds outside.
