There are journeys you take. And then there are journeys that take you, away from the ordinary and into a world where elegance still matters and time behaves differently. On board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, the journey itself becomes the destination. Step into polished Art Deco carriages, savour fine dining by candlelight, and watch as Europe’s most captivating landscapes pass by your window.
5 nights from Paris to Venice — including luxury stays in Paris and Venice, a privately guided tour of the Doge’s Palace, fine dining, and a night aboard the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. From €7,399 per person.
Begin in Paris, staying just steps from the Left Bank’s boutiques and bistros. Days bring café crèmes, curated shopping walks and art-filled museums; evenings belong to the glow of the Seine.
Step aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, a Belmond Train. Polished marquetry, Lalique glass and your private steward set the scene. Dinner is a four-course celebration in the dining car, followed by champagne and live piano in the Bar Car as the Alps roll past under lamplight.
Arrive in Venice by water taxi and slow the rhythm even further. Beyond the icons, pause for cicchetti at All’Arco, order spaghetti alle vongole at Osteria alle Testiere, and watch sunset from the Rialto Bridge as church bells begin to chime. Step inside the Doge’s Palace on a privately guided tour — a story of art, power and Venice’s mercantile past.

Mary designs with empathy, intuition and impeccable taste. Her itineraries strike the perfect balance between immersion and ease, with thoughtful touches that make all the difference — a favourite champagne on arrival, a clifftop sunset dinner, or a starlit evening in the desert.
In Venice, listen for the boats gliding under the Rialto Bridge at sunset and raise a Bellini to the chime of church bells. Spend evenings hopping between cicchetti bars — creamy salt cod and other Venetian specialties are as unforgettable as the views. Don’t miss the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, where frescoes unfold overhead in quiet, timeless splendour.
