"A newly relaunched luxury train inspired by 1960s Italian design with 12 carriages, a restaurant and bar, and 31 cabins accommodating up to 62 passengers. Even entry-level cabins include full bathrooms with showers and high-end bath products, while suites offer a large bed, separate sofa, and a sitting area; menus are crafted by three-Michelin-star chef Heinz Beck. Italian-focused itineraries run one to three nights and place strong emphasis on optional, paid excursions (such as winery visits), with pre-departure service from a chic lounge at Rome’s Ostiense Station and an onboard vibe that is elegant but slightly more casual—featuring Franciacorta sparkling wine and participatory live entertainment. One-night fares for a Deluxe Cabin start around $3,910 and typically include meals, a curated selection of wines, soft drinks and cocktails, and transfers to and from the Orient Express lounge at Rome’s Ostiense Station." - Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz is a writer and editor based in Rome.
