All Aboard the VSOE! Instagram’s Latest Travel Obsession
Belmond Limited
Belmond Limited, the LVMH-owned luxury hospitality and travel brand, has been carrying passengers aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express from London to Venice since 1982. Historically, each of the 17 carriages belonged to Europe’s Orient Express, connecting passengers from Paris to Istanbul as early as 1883. Following a careful restoration of the vintage carriages, the VSOE is now known as one of the most lavish travel experiences in the world.

While one can expect popular destinations like London, Paris, and Venice, it is also possible to find a Journey to cities like Brussels, Vienna, and Budapest. The train stops as far as Istanbul, but we recommend booking your Journey well in advance, as there are fewer destination options closer to the date of departure.
