The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, with its gleaming blue and gold cars, awaits you at Istanbul station to begin its historic journey to Paris.
Time to settle into your cabin and discover the train that has already begun its journey.
The first social event will be dinner, an event full of luxury, both for the dishes prepared on board by our expert chefs and for the magnificent decoration of the restaurant cars, not to mention the soothing melodies played by our pianist.
Later you can move on to the bar car '3674' to continue listening to the pianist on his baby grand piano and start meeting other passengers.
When you decide to retire for the night you will discover that your cabin has been transformed into a cozy bedroom.
While you rest, the train crosses into Bulgaria.
