You could eat croissants in the heart of France just to have your Lady and the Tramp moment later in Italy all because of a new luxury sleeper train launching in 2026.
The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express — sister to the Orient Express — is going on an inaugural journey from Paris to the Amalfi Coast for a four day experience.
All aboard to be treated to a luxurious dining experience or explore Italy’s rich heritage off the train. All has been organised by the company, leaving the travellers to relax without stress looming over their holiday.
When does the Paris to Amalfi Coast train leave?
The train will depart from Paris, France on May 4, 2026. The journey will conclude on the Amalfi Coast on May 7, 2026.
How much does the Paris to Amalfi Coast train cost?
Given it is an overnight train, those interested in the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express must purchase a cabin which will fit two people maximum.
There are four different rooms available. The cheapest room is £8,600 per person which equals roughly $17,600 AUD. The double and twin suites are £16,450 per person which equates to approximately $33,900 AUD.
The most expensive room is the grand suite, which is £25,500 per person equaling $52,400 AUD.
What is the itinerary?
The train trip begins in Paris. While you won’t be getting off the train to enjoy France, you will be treated to champagne and pastries, before a lavish dinner. The night will end with live piano music and signature cocktails.
The next morning you will awake in Italy, enjoying breakfast and lunch before exploring a VIP guided tour of the Pompeii ruins. However, if you’d prefer to skip the World Heritage site, a cooking class is also available instead.
For the following nights, travellers will be staying at the Caruso hotel.
On day three, there are two choices: a scenic boat tour of Positano or a painting lesson at Caruso. But travellers will reunite at the end of the day for a beautiful gala view with panoramic views.
The fourth day will end with views over breakfast before bidding farewell.
