Today, the legend has been reborn in Italy and you are invited to embark on a fascinating journey aboard La Dolce Vita Orient Express.

Boasting lavish interior designs, the train celebrates the craftsmanship and creativity of the 1960s and 1970s and marries the golden age of Italian design with a more contemporary spirit of travel.
The luxurious interior of the trains boasts exclusive accommodation comprising 12 Deluxe cabins, 18 Suites, 1 La Dolce Vita Suite, and a sophisticated restaurant. Additionally, one cabin serves as an elegant lounge area, complete with bar, where guests are invited to enjoy their leisure time.
