Venice Simplon-Orient-Express 2027 Routes at a Glance
Not every journey runs every day. The 2027 programme includes classic one-night services, limited-edition Riviera departures, longer rail adventures and train-and-hotel holidays. Choose the experience that suits your plans:
- Classic overnight train: Paris to Venice or Venice to Paris for a night aboard the train and time to explore either destination.
- Verona and northern Italy: Paris to Verona offers an arrival point for opera, Lake Garda and northern Italian holidays.
- French Riviera: limited services including Paris to Monaco and Paris to Cannes depart on 10 May 2027; other Riviera routing options are listed in the departure calendar.
- Long-distance rail: Paris to Istanbul combines train nights with overnight hotel stays along the route.
- Train and Belmond hotel: special-edition holidays pair the train with Splendido in Portofino, Caruso on the Amalfi Coast, Hotel Cipriani in Venice or Villa San Michele near Florence.
For routes through Amsterdam and Brussels, and all confirmed departures including sold-out dates, use the 2027 VSOE departure schedule. The schedule reflects the published Belmond programme checked on 28 October 2026; train times, availability and package inclusions must be reconfirmed before booking.
Expert Advice: Planning Your Orient Express Holiday
Should I connect from London on the same day?
The published 2027 VSOE departures board in continental Europe. Because Eurostar and the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express are separate services, we often suggest considering an overnight stay in Paris, especially if your arrival time leaves little margin for disruption. We can organise the hotel and transfers alongside your chosen train journey.
Which VSOE accommodation is right for me?
Historic Cabins offer the classic overnight-train experience; Suites and Grand Suites provide more space and their own bathroom facilities. The best choice depends on the experience you want, your preferred bed configuration and the live price for your departure. Compare the cabin and suite categories.
What is included in my GBP quotation?
We make clear whether your quote covers the train alone or a complete holiday, and identify the confirmed accommodation category, route, onboard meals and any hotel nights, Eurostar, flights or private transfers included. Prices can change with demand and availability, so we confirm the final GBP amount before you book.
Why book with Mulberry Travel?
Our UK-based team can compare the Belmond departure programme against your wider itinerary rather than treating the train as a standalone purchase. We can combine hotel stays and onward travel with your preferred journey, advise on suitable connections and help you plan special occasions.

The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express Bar Car
Enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail on board the train and soak up the unique atmosphere in the bar car complete with a baby grand piano! Let the head mixologist, Walter Nisi, create a cocktail for you to enjoy including the “Guilty Twelve” which is a secret combination of eleven spirits plus champagne invented by Walter to celebrate the 12 characters in Agatha Christie’s famous book – Murder on the Orient Express.
You can also head to the champagne bar to enjoy a glass or two from a selection of chilled vintage Champagnes.
After dinner, return to the bar car where the convivial atmosphere continues until the very last client call it a night. The after-dinner cocktail of choice is the Pousse Café du Train.
The Bar Car (3674) was built in France in 1931 and based at the Gare Saint-Lazare in Paris. After the war it ran as part of the Sud Express from Paris to Irún on the Spanish border and from Paris to Toulouse in Le Capitole.
Today it boasts a beautiful, Art Nouveau-style interior by Gérard Gallet and even manages to incorporate a baby grand piano within the carriage.
