Itinerary
Wednesday - Board the
splendid Wagons-Lits carriages of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express at Venice Santa Lucia
station. Throughout your journey you will be attended by your own personal steward. After
you have settled into your comfortable compartment it will soon be time to dress for
dinner. Why not sip an aperitif in the Bar Car, listening to the sounds of the baby grand
piano before taking your seat in one of the beautifully restored restaurant cars. After
dinner you may want to linger in the bar and when you are ready you can retire to your
compartment which has now been transformed into a cosy bedroom.
Thursday - Breakfast is
served in your compartment at a time to suit you. Spend the morning relaxing in the
comfort of your compartment, gazing at the beautiful passing scenery as the train heads
towards Prague, or chatting with fellow travelers over coffee in the Bar Car. Later, enjoy
a three-course lunch in one of the other magnificent restaurant cars. The train pulls in
to Prague’s Hlavni station in the early afternoon.
Transfer to your chosen hotel for two nights. (Accommodation and transfers not
included.)
Friday - Enjoy the many attractions of one of the most beautiful
cities in Europe. The medieval streets of the Old Town and the Hradcany Castle are in
pleasing contrast to the twentieth century buildings of Wenceslas Square. Take a guided
tour or wander at your pleasure, stopping at one of the many pavement cafés for coffee.
Saturday - The morning is at your leisure before being welcomed aboard
the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express bound for London. Your private compartment awaits.
Afternoon tea is served by your personal steward as you relax on board. A leisurely
four-course dinner is served, prepared on board by our skilled French chefs. Enjoy a
brandy or liqueur with convivial company in the Bar before retiring for the night.
Sunday - Continental breakfast is brought to you by your steward.
Visit the on board boutique for a selection of finely crafted gifts and souvenirs. Enjoy a
delicious brunch in the restaurant car as you travel on towards the French coast. After
the Channel crossing board the cream and umber carriages of the British Pullman for the
journey to London. A traditional English afternoon tea accompanied by a glass of champagne
is served at your table while you watch the gentle scenery of Kent pass by. Suddenly, you
are drawing into London’s Victoria station. It may be the end of your journey but the
memories will last a lifetime. |
