Venice Simplon-Orient-Express
Paris to Portofino
4 days | October 15-18, 2026 | From £9,550 per cabin
One night aboard the world’s most storied train, two nights at a legendary retreat overlooking the Italian Riviera. This is slow travel, impeccably choreographed.
Board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express in Paris and spend the night moving gently south—champagne, white-linen dining, polished wood, and the steady rhythm of the rails. Wake to the Mediterranean as the train traces the coast into Italy, where pastel harbours and cypress-lined hills signal your arrival in Liguria.
From Santa Margherita Ligure, continue on to Portofino and settle into Splendido, a former monastery turned Riviera icon. Days unfold at an unhurried pace: sea-view breakfasts, scenic walks to the lighthouse, time by the pool, and evenings shaped by Ligurian cuisine, music, and long aperitivo hours. This is a journey designed for those who understand that elegance is often about knowing when not to rush.
