28hrs on World’s Most Luxurious Train: The Venice Simplon Orient Express

Start speaking a new language in 3 weeks with Babbel. Get up to 65% OFF your subscription HERE: go.babbel.com/12m65-youtube-t...
Today I’m taking The Venice Simplon Orient Express in a Grand Suite, all the way to Venice, passing through three countries. This is not only the world’s most iconic, but arguably the most luxurious sleeper train. I have the grand suite today, which features an ensuite bathroom with shower, living space, dining table and double bed. There are three restaurants onboard and even a lounge car with baby grand piano. It’s like the very best 5* hotel on the rails.
Belmond runs all kinds of trains, but this one has been on my list for a long time. I feel incredibly fortunate I was able to get an upgrade to a suite which I’d never in a million years get the chance to travel in with cash. So how did I book this?
As discussed in the video, I used my friend Jarvis’ luxury travel agency: theluxurytraveller.com to book this trip. He assisted no end in arranging all the finer details of the trip and in getting the my space available upgrade to the Grand Suite.

If you’re ever interested, you should definitely look out for European Waterways. We specialise in luxury hotel barge cruises throughout Europe. We take old commercial barges and convert them into floating 5* hotels. Maximum 12 guests, all inclusive with a private chef, hostess and guide for a week. Definitely worth a go, especially after this!!

    I'm surprised at everyone calling this train "impressive" and "astonishing". What would be impressive is to take a train ride like that for around 1k-2k and make it affordable for the average consumer. But anything can be impressive if you make it cost enough. 2k could be better spent on an insane spec gaming PC which would bring you many more memories than a couple day 23k expense. Unless of course that 23k is chump change for someone.

    Definitely not made up, this used to be how the European elite travelled before Aeroplanes became fast, comfortable and reliable. The most luxurious sleeper-wagons and trains were run by the CIWL, founded in 1876. The most famous was of course the Orient Express, (other famous lines were the Nord Express and Sud Express) but this was pretty much the way to travel internationally in Europe around the turn of the century. You could, given you had the funds, travel between Europe's larger cities on trains at close to this level of luxury (without the modern amenities like Air conditioning) and on to some exotic destinations like Constantinople, Baghdad, CIWL even ran trains to Vladivostok and Manchuria for a brief moment before the Russian revolution. Of course, some particularly ostentatious people and heads of state would own their own railcars or even their own trains. (Like having a private jet rather than flying first class with Emirates or Qatar Airways) Quite a few royal carriages have been preserved across Europe. That train is a living piece of history, it's not just the luxury you pay for but the fact that the train is a century old, the experience of travelling the way it was in the 1920s. And for those that say 20.0000 $ for 28 hours is too much for a suite, a First Class suite on Emirates starts at 7.000 $ for a 6-7 hour flight.

    Had to read that twice, there's a Halifax in England as well, I knew of the tradition in the USA of having British towns and city names but didn't realise there were similar ones in Canada too. Just read and it isn't directly named after the town but from the Earl of Halifax, who was Earl of our Halifax and it is why he had the name, which it makes it even more fascinating. Halifax is a pretty small town next to my larger city, rather excited it has this.

I'm a lover of trains and have taken them for decades and now on the Amtrak when I go to get off there's not even a stool and they expect you to jump down the two and a half feet down--no matter what your ages or your gender or your situation --with no help with you suitcase. I pause and Shout out-- WHERE is the stool? p Possibly they will bring one over; throw it down; and leave again. YOU have to do it all on your own despite your age or gender. fin2ally I've grown to hate trains in America.

Now at the time I was a student, not that I can afford a ticket now either, but it was good to see that history and luxury still meet demand, even though 30 passengers probably wont even cover the wholesale Beluga budget on this tour.

    Loved this video--I have seen Orient Express videos before, but never a room so elegant as this one and having traveled from Calais to Venice by motorcoach and visiting all the sites along the way, seeing the scenery and you and Millie sharing the luxury of your experience is wonderful. I have Eurailed thru Europe, choosing the first class option, but always traveled by day and not in a sleeper, just in a cabin. I met the most amazing people along the way--memorable was a man on my first Eurail trip in '87 from England who bought me a beer as I was traveling from Como to Luzern in the older St. Gotthard tunnel. We chatted the whole way. My favorite vista on that trip is the town of Wassen, right after the train exited the tunnel it circles the village and its iconic church so one sees the church from all sides as the train used the circle route to descend into the Reuss river valley towards Luzern. Given you crossed into Italy in Chiasso you went thru the St. Gotthard route as well, and I believe the alps along the way are the most stunning in Europe as one passes Altdorf and heads south thru the Reuss River Valley, then goes from German speaking Switzerland to Italian speaking Switzerland thru the St. Gotthard tunnel, amazing in itself that a mountain tunnel changes a culture and language. I took four tours of Europe, in '77, '82, '84 and '17, but the three Eurail trips I took were special too. I also worked in Bologna Italy for a few weeks in '95. Alas, my newlywed wife could not join me because my trip was scheduled suddenly, but my daughter right now is in Siena doing graduate study in Italian at the University there. She like you loves history, and when she returns to the US in August she will start work to complete her masters in International Studies. My career was in tourism which is what allowed me so much travel, especially business travel, and now I do it just for leisure after more than 41 years in guest service. Hope to watch more of your videos!
