Venice Simplon Orient Express Full Experience Luxurious Train | Venice to London

For your chance to win a trip for 2 aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, support an

Today was an absolutely unforgettable and special day, being able to go on the Orient Express from Venice to London - it would've not been possible without the support of Omaze - thank you :)

We woke up for sunrise in Venice and were picked up by our water taxi transfer to take us to the Venice train station. There we were given our train tickets and boarded one of the most luxurious trains in the world, an overnight experience which would take us through 5 different countries, starting in Italy and ending in the UK.

This Luxury Train experience with art deco design is a once in a lifetime that takes you back to what travel was like in the 1920's, one we are super thankful to be able to say we did in the future, from the Michelin star dinners, breakfast and 4 course lunches to waking up in a different country and seeing the sunset in another.

The Trip includes:
- One night aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express luxury train
- Dedicated steward service
- Welcome glass of sparking wine
- Four course dinner
- Coffee, tea and deserts
- Continental breakfast served in your cabin
- A delicious three course brunch searched on the Belmond British Pullman luxury Train

You go on the Arlberg Railway going from Venice, Italy to Austria, through Germany, Lichtenstein, France and the UK.

You go through the channel from France to the UK and board the Belmond British Pullman to end the journey to London.

Only disappointing part is having to sleep through switzerland!

[ruiyuandong]

"Sleep through the night in Switzerland"! That's a serious drawback! The BEST scenery of train travel is in Switzerland. Just imaging all these Alps and Lakes you missed!

Only took 30 seconds for this to go on my bucket list. So sophisticated and beautiful

The whole thing is a dream for me. As someone who grew up in a developing Asian country, I was reading about Orient Express and luxury trains in a children's encyclopedia book as a kid and thought how fabulous this European train was, then as an adult realising such thing no longer exists until now learning that you can still have a glimpse of that experience like you guys. One day i'd get on that train. It is expensive, but it is like sleeping inside a palace, it is a piece of history. The whole thing is about experience and one that i'd love to have.

You have no idea how jealous and emotional I am while watching this episode. It has been a lifetime dream for me to ride the Orient Express. I vow to take my wife on the 6-day journey for our 10 year anniversary!! You guys are amazing!!!

[steveamurray]

Europe has some of the Best Trains and this one is number one, wonderful restored carriages, pure class.

[drecellthealive]

One day, I will ride the Orient Express, and I will take my mum with me. She's the one I watch Poirot with!

[rahulramaiya]

YOU BOTH COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER & EXPLAIN EACH & EVERY MINUTE DETAIL PATIENTLY & SMILINGLY WHICH CREATES A VERY PLEASING & THOUGHT PROVOKING AMBIANCE FOR THE VIEWER. GREAT!

[ronakshah]

What differentiates you guys from other travel vloggers is the MUSIC!! It matches the mood you are experiencing which enables me to feel the same vibe while watching!!

I'm writing this in 2019. One day I will ride the Orient Express ❤

My wife and I spent our last leg of our Honeymoon on the Orient Express in 2016. Special times.

[LostUndertheSky]

It costs $3250 per person to go from Venice to London one way on that train.

[Quotenwagnerianer]

I would feel constantly underdressed on that train. :o

[Tommy-xhmb]

Imagine watching Harry Potter movies in this aesthetic train before bedtime ✨

[KoriEmerson]

My husband and I saved up and did this train. We are vintage nerds and dressed 1930s for fun. There were 3 other couples that happened to do the same thing. It was so fun. We dressed for dinner together and everything. It was awesome. People even asked to take pictures of us. It was so lovely. We are saving up again.

Travel-Vlogger coming to a formal dinner: wears a shirt.
Everyone else: wears formal dinner attire (black tie).

Speaks volumes to the amount of cultural immersion he's prepared to do.

As a nine-year-old child, I rode from Istanbul to Germany on the Orient Express. This was long before it was refurbished.



We did not know that the dining car would be pulled from the train when we left Turkey. This was in late 1969, the year Americans landed on the Moon. My father had to hop off and on the train to exchange money and buy sandwiches or whatever he could find for food for my little brother, myself, and my mother at each station. Luckily, he had amazing linguistic abilities. Almost every stop was a new country, language, and a new currency. We often called out to him as he ran to catch the train again as it was leaving the station. Meanwhile, my little brother and I made friends with train companions who had food.


It was far from luxurious, but is was still the Orient Express. I still have my diary of that experience and my terror of my father not making it back on the train at every stop. However, it was the Orient Express! That was not lost on me. I mapped our train car, and I appreciated how iconic it was. However, it was far from the opulent situation you experienced.

I love the music choices for your videos. They always really fit what we are watching.
