The Best Orient Express Journeys in Europe
In celebration of the new film ‘Murder On The Orient Express’ – a movie about a murder investigation on the Orient Express in which a lavish trip through Europe quickly turns into a race against time to solve a murder aboard a train.
The Orient Express has been in operation since 1883 and has since become a pioneer in luxury train journeys with a difference. Orient Express exudes spectacular style of French Art Deco, which makes your journey incredibly romantic, as well as the undeniably breath taking views that will pass you by. The Orient Express, a definition of luxurious rail journeys, still operates the Venice-Simplon Orient-Express, running from London to Venice. However, these days you will find the same luxurious train journeys with Belmond hotels, which took over the Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. In March 2014.
See below one of the most popular Orient Express journey in Europe, which boasts of magnificent vistas along the way! If you’re searching for that magical holiday, why not make it an unforgettable one? Contact us today and start planning your Orient Express journey!
