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.
