Paris - Istanbul
Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime 6-days, 5-nights journey from Paris to Istanbul aboard the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express: three nights on board, historic elegance, gourmet meals and breathtaking passage through Europe’s hidden gems.
Day 1: The City of Light marks the beginning of a legendary journey
Your adventure begins in Paris, where the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express awaits with its unmistakable blue-and-gold carriages. Once aboard, your cabin becomes a private retreat: polished marquetry, refined upholstery and the warm glow of vintage lamps that evoke the full glamour of the golden age of rail travel.
As the train travels eastward across Europe, enjoy a refined lunch in the beautifully restored dining cars. The elegance of the service and the creativity of the cuisine set the tone for the extraordinary journey ahead.
During the afternoon, you may relax in your cabin, stroll through the lounge cars or explore the boutique on board, where exclusive mementos await. The atmosphere is serene—the perfect moment to feel the journey slowly reveal its magic.
As evening approaches, it is time to dress for dinner. An aperitif in Bar Car 3674, accompanied by live piano music and a lively ambiance, prepares the way for a multi-course gourmet dinner inspired by seasonal ingredients. Each dish is a tribute to refined gastronomy, paired with the sommelier’s selected wines.
The first day ends as the train glides gently toward the eastern frontier of Europe, marking the beginning of a journey you will never forget.
Day 2: A perfect day of landscapes and imperial cities
Begin the morning with a continental breakfast served in your cabin by your steward, as the scenery of Austria and Hungary drifts gently past your window. The journey unfolds through valleys, rolling hills and golden tones that mark the gateway to Central Europe.
Before reaching Budapest, enjoy a refined three-course lunch in the restaurant cars, where elegance and culinary finesse elevate every moment.
Upon arrival in the Hungarian capital, a local guide will greet you and escort you by coach to your hotel. The afternoon allows time to settle in before an unforgettable evening: a welcome cocktail reception followed by a special dinner on the majestic River Danube.
A day that blends comfort, beauty and culture, setting the tone for the exceptional experiences still ahead.
Day 3: Budapest: history, art and imperial splendour
The day begins with a guided exploration of some of Budapest’s most iconic landmarks, led by local experts who reveal the rich history and cultural depth of the city. Afterwards, enjoy a lunch featuring traditional Hungarian specialties, blending authenticity and regional flavour.
In the afternoon, continue your discovery with a guided visit to the magnificent Hungarian Parliament Building, a monumental architectural masterpiece inspired by London’s Palace of Westminster.
You then re-board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and continue your journey eastward. As evening falls, savour a delectable dinner on board while the train glides smoothly towards Romania.
Day 4: A fairytale castle in the mountains
Begin the morning with a continental breakfast served in your cabin as the train glides gracefully into Romania. Later, enjoy a delicious brunch in the restaurant cars as you approach the mountain town of Sinaia.
A short coach ride brings you to Peleș Castle, the fairytale residence built by King Carol I as his summer retreat. In October 1883, the very first Orient Express passengers were welcomed here at the King’s personal invitation. Comfortable shoes and a light sweater are recommended for the visit.
After returning to the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, the journey continues toward Bucharest. Upon arrival, local guides will escort you to your hotel. Later in the evening, enjoy a private dinner accompanied by live musical entertainment—an enchanting conclusion to a day filled with history and wonder.
Day 5: Final celebrations on the journey to the East
Back on board, begin the final stretch of this legendary voyage to Istanbul. The morning invites relaxation as the train heads south, crossing the mighty River Danube and entering Bulgaria. Later, make your way to one of the dining cars for a refined lunch.
In the afternoon, the train stops in the charming seaside town of Varna on the Black Sea coast. Here, guests disembark for an aperitif on a private estate, an exclusive moment framed by the sea breeze and golden afternoon light.
Once back aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, the journey continues across the ancient Thracian Plain. A final unforgettable dinner is served, marking your last night on board: exquisite dishes, flawless service and the warm, intimate ambiance that defines the Orient Express. Celebrate with a special glass in hand as the resident pianist fills the bar car with music and conversation flows among new friends.
A perfect finale to a journey that will live in your memory forever.
Day 6: A graceful farewell at the gateway to the East
Your final morning begins with a continental breakfast served in your cabin as the train continues toward Turkey. At the Kapikule border crossing, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express pauses for customs formalities—a symbolic moment marking the passage between continents. Take this opportunity to browse the onboard boutique, where elegant gifts and exclusive keepsakes await.
Lunch in the dining cars introduces refined Turkish flavours, offering a taste of what lies ahead in the city where your journey will conclude.
All too soon, the train glides into Istanbul. Your voyage comes to an end, but its magic will stay with you long after you disembark. A complimentary shared transfer will take you to your hotel in the city centre.
A fitting finale to an unforgettable journey.
