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 travellers 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. 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
Enjoy breakfast in the comforts of your cabin before your early morning arrival in Paris.
