Timeless luxury lounge blending Italian elegance with modern sophistication
Stazione Roma Ostiense, 00154 Roma RM, Italy Get directions
"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.
