Last year saw the world’s most iconic train, the Orient Express, launch the brand-new Orient Express La Dolce Vita, offering six fabulous itineraries to experience in unparalleled style and comfort. Imagine being whisked away on a one-night adventure from Rome to Montalcino, where the heart of Tuscany opens up its finest vineyards for your exploration. Meanwhile, the two-night Rome & Nizza Monferrato: En Route to Truffles and Wines gives you a taste of the gourmet delights of Piedmont.

For those enchanted by the sea's mysteries, the Rome, Maratea, and Palermo itinerary unveils the Tyrrhenian Sea's wonders in a mesmerising one-night voyage, touching the historic beauty of Sicily and the allure of Messina. Alternatively, the Italia Transsiberian experience beckons with a two-night expedition from Rome to the ancient city of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage treasure, and beyond.

For a deep dive into Sicily's heart, the Palermo, Agrigento, and Taormina route guides you from historic palaces through the legendary Valley of the Temples to the majestic Mount Etna. Each curated itinerary of the Orient Express La Dolce Vita is an invitation to indulge in the richness of Italian culture, landscapes, and history.

Step aboard and choose your own adventure with two splendid accommodation options: the Deluxe Cabins and the opulent Suites. Each is a sanctuary of sophistication and warmth, complete with plush furnishings and private bathrooms. Dine in the chic Ristorante car, where elegance meets flavour in an ambience adorned with glossy lacquer in serene sage.

Here, every meal becomes a memorable event. Continue your evening in the Bar Car, where traditional Italian aperitifs, a tempting buffet of antipasti, signature cocktails, Limoncello, and select wines await to enchant your senses.

Other exciting rail journeys to consider in Europe include the Austrian-run Nightjet network, which has introduced a series of overnight journeys. Experience the historic charm of Berlin and the cultural vibrancy of Vienna before heading to the romantic streets of Paris and the grandeur of Brussels. Or explore the scenic beauty stretching from Austria and Germany all the way to the heart of Italy. These journeys offer a variety of accommodation to cater to every need and budget, from the luxury of sleeper compartments and the cosy comfort of couchette coaches to the practicality of day coaches.

And speaking of luxury, the Belmond British Pullman runs glamorous day and weekend journeys around Britain. This remarkable train invites passengers to step back in time to a period of unparalleled sophistication, aboard carriages that have been lovingly restored to their former glory.

Among the enchanting destinations, the Pullman whisks guests away to the breathtaking scenery of the Peak District, where an exclusive visit to the illustrious Chatsworth House awaits. This stately home, renowned for its art, history, and verdant gardens, offers an unforgettable experience of Britain's heritage. Alternatively, you can opt for a rejuvenating journey to the historic city of Bath, famed for its ancient Roman Baths and striking Georgian architecture.

For those yearning for an adventure further afield, one that combines exotic landscapes with undeniable luxury is the Belmond Eastern & Oriental Express. This extraordinary train carves a path between the vibrant city-state of Singapore and the heart of Malaysia, offering passengers unparalleled views of lush tropical jungles and pristine beaches.

The experience aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express is nothing short of magical, with its opulent accommodation and gourmet cuisine reflecting the rich flavours of Southeast Asia.
