Coming in 2025 - An extraordinary train offering unparalleled luxury and unique excursions in Italy.
The Orient Express's history is a remarkable blend of technical, industrial, and artistic achievements. By embracing this rich history, the Orient Express La Dolce Vita is constantly pushing boundaries to offer a unique travel experience.
In 1867, following a heartbreak, young Belgian engineer Georges Nagelmackers sought solace in the United States.
It was there that he encountered the world's first sleeping cars on railroads. Upon his return to Europe, he realised his life's mission: to introduce opulent trains that would journey towards the Gates of the Orient.
On October 4th, 1883, an extraordinary train departed from Paris to Constantinople with forty passengers on board.
The seven-day round trip not only revolutionized the geography of Europe but also redefined the concept of long-distance travel...
Nearly 140 years ago, Georges Nagelmackers realized his dream by introducing the inaugural luxurious Orient Express trains across Europe. Today, this iconic experience has been resurrected in Italy, welcoming you to experience an enchanting voyage aboard the La Dolce Vita Orient Express trains.
Inspired by the glamour and charm of the 1960s, La Dolce Vita pays homage to the essence of freedom, wellness, and enjoyment.
The lavish train interior will feature 12 Deluxe cabins, 18 Suites, 1 La Dolce Vita Suite, and an exquisite restaurant. Furthermore, each cabin will be transformed into a stylish lounge area, inclusive of a private bar, providing guests with a delightful space to relax and unwind...
THE DELUXE CABINS
The deluxe cabins are designed with cool colours for the architectural shell and coverings, mirrored back walls, and wooden slat ceilings. At night, the sofa transforms into a double bed, while the ottomans can be used as coffee tables or stools. The space is crafted to feel inviting and adaptable. The use of various materials, from the soft carpet to the natural wood on the ceiling, creates a cosy travel ambience.
THE SUITE CABINS
The suite cabins are designed as luxurious master bedrooms, complete with a sofa and a table accompanied by two armchairs, for social interaction while onboard. The furniture hues vary from inviting warm orange/terracotta to purple, accented with brass details. To enhance the spaciousness, smoked antique mirror surfaces adorn the walls, and the ceiling is finished in glossy lacquered "burnt Sienna".
THE LOUNGE AND RESTAURANT
The lounge bar and the restaurant exemplify traditional Italian hospitality and conviviality, with flowing forms that extend from the bar station to the grand piano, spanning the length of the carriage.
