Exquisite luxury of furnishings, food, and time. What a lovely trip we took with you! Thank you for doing an excellent video tour. Some prices - Lowest cost is around USD$300 - $3500 on average for twin / single cabin. Cabin Suites are double. Grand Luxury Suite is 4 times more. The food is included along with coffee, tea, but drinks are extra. Which is good as we don't need drunk passengers. There are no showers on train. There is a well appointed bathroom - one per car, and your own personal sink in each cabin. There are routes from London or Paris or Berlin. Going to Prague, Verona, Venice. Istanbul costs $21,000! Feedback: Show us more of toilets, sink, how beds work, bed linen service, inside each lounge, and a bit less of train stations.

I did this journey as a student on a standard train: eating baguette and cheese out of my backpack, and drinking red wine from a plastic bottle. I loved every moment of it. Chilling with other young people that was the life.

[@wolfgang6915]

That's true, when i was young i travel through Europe with the Interrail Pass and must be 26 or younger, you have 6 Weeks Time to go through Western Europa, included West-Berlin. Through Europe from Norway through Danmark, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal. My dream was until March 2022 go with the longest Railway Connection in Europe with the East-West Express from Paris - Cologne - Berlin - Warzaw - Kiew - Moscow. This Train dosnt exit since March 2022. This Train Connection exist over 60 Years, until 1990 through the Communist Part of Europa. Please excuse my English. Wolfgang Hamburg Germany

[@ChrisFEJackson]

The service from French waiters compared to the English waiters were a universe apart. How the French smiled and made eye contact, whereas the English Pullman waiters just about dropped the plate onto the table whilst moving along just spoke volumes to me. For the english it's a job that requires to be done, for the French & Italians, a vocation, pride in providing excellent service. This is one thing that really stood out for me in comparison of the services received. Pullman take note!!

[@apgx6032]

Such an elegant and sophisticated train and the food looked delicious, what beautiful memories for all those who experienced a glimpse back in time to the golden age of travel. One observation, it’s a a shame the dress code was not a little more befitting for such an iconic train as the staff appeared better turned out than what one could see of some of the guests. Of course each to their own but a little extra effort never goes a miss in this life. For all those who aspire to travel on the Orient Express I hope your dreams come true, and that each moment on board makes for happy memories.

An experience of a lifetime! My wife and I had an experience of a lifetime in mid-May of 1999 spending two weeks in Paris and the Loire River Valley with our two children, 14 month old and a ~4yr old. My wife has since passed, this trip was up for consideration for our 25th anniversary so this video was a "what could have been" second trip of a lifetime experience! We're Agatha Christy fans, especially the tv1 Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) episodes, so this would have been the perfect literary/tv series/gourmet/rail train/scenic/European travel. Maybe I'll win a lottery and take my sister (we're 70 and 71 somehow). Anyway, wonderful video trip! Thanks

If there is no talking, how in the heck do you LEARN what the trip is about? GOOD music can also add, but I agree, nothing loud or obnoxious like trancing disco or the like.... something light and classical adds so much to travel vlogs.

However, the minute you exit your private cabins you are met with a bunch of excited american tourist types. Kills the vibe. I swear to god one time there was a retirement party with loud old people dressed like flappers on board. Another time there was a very Maury/Jermey kyle-esque family of 5 on board wearing hoodies etc. Be prepared to encounter those people!

Paul's Trip Reports is it more expense than Emirates first class

[@Nathan411466]

This is on my bucket list

[@bramhuysen5907]

So, the trip lasts 24 hours and costs a bit under US $ 3,000, depending on the exchange rate (about GDP 2,350), per person. Out of these 24 hours, you spend about 7 to 8 hour spleeping, while the train continues along its route during the night, apparently between Innsbruck and Paris. Looks like you miss some nice scenery (Switzerland, Bavaria, Jura in Eastern France). The scenery East of Paris (from Metz or the Vosges) is pretty boring. It would be a better deal if the train stopped for the night, running only during daytime, and guests were accommodated in a nice hotel along the way, so that they could enjoy views of the Alps and the Schwarzwald. As is it's a lot of money for relatively little (you don't even have a shower unless you book a suite, which is a lot more expensive).

[@Persfoto]

Yes that is true, You sleep during some nice sceneries. If they would stop that would be better but it was a nice trip anyway but you are absolutely wright

[@gregburma]

Yes- it's pretty "piss-poor" value when you consider the short time, and what you have highlighted about missing the best scenery, and the service seems pretentious rather than friendly; there are NO showers for most people, as you say (Yuk!), and just one shared toilet per car (naff!), no breaks for a quick tour, plus you've really hit the spot when you say about the missing overnight break. There's no entertainment to break down the barriers, so it's just a poseur's paradise, and I guess few people make friends on the trip, rather than its being a relaxed fun-filled tour. Also, there's such a thing as "over-restoration"- is all that veneer on the panels symptomatic of the people it attracts? Verdict: cheapskate quickie with high pretentiouns. (Oh and leave the bottle, I'LL pour the champers).

[@markkanen3906]

[@kimberlyrobinson3992]

It was actually very therapeutic for me to see this video, particularly at this time. Just last night, I read an article by a reporter who was paid by the studio who did the recent remake of the Agatha Christie movie to take a ride aboard the Orient Express. The pictures looked so alluring, I felt really jealous and deprived. Why can't I go on this train? Why don't I have the money to do it? Boo-hoo-hoo and so on. But, after seeing the video, I don't feel deprived, anymore. Granted, the train is more ornamented than any other train I've ever taken, but train travel when I was little was quite elegant. We used trains when my parents took me on vacations to visit relatives. When I was a child, you had attentive staff and nice china for your meals. Now, trains are cattle cars, moving people around and you overpay for a tasteless, shrink-wrapped sandwich. Even though I was young, I remember how it used to be. I'll have to find another travel goal than the Orient Express, now. Fortunately, there are plenty of others out there.

[@mr99boxer30]

I recommend the Canadian Train the "Rocky Mountaineer" Gold Leaf Service. A First Class, beautiful train, with gourmet meals and you spend each night at a different 4 star Canadian Hotel/Rustic Lodge. Travel is only during the day to view the natural Canadian beauty ending in Banff at the world famous Banff Springs Hotel. The train route is from Vancouver, BC to Banff, Alberta through the beautiful and scenic Canadian Rookies !

[@studio-flash]

Great video..as a lover of all things from the Art Deco period in history, architecture, ceramics, object d'art, clothes, etc I would love to take a train journey on the Simplon Orient Express but it would have to be with myself dressed in a smart pin striped 3 piece suite with a flashy silk tie & matching handkerchief and trilby.

[@PattiPagan]

I took the London --> Paris VSOE leg in the autumn of 1983 when you could still reserve a non-overnight sleeper. I was 27, one of the youngest passengers I saw, & was a woman traveling solo which provoked--not in a bad way--comments the entire trip. I splurged (for me) on the $40 dinner & my budget only allowed me to drink water. However, when my entree appeared, my darling waiter presented me with a complimentary glass of champagne he had been hiding behind his back. :) About 15 years later or so, I took the British Pullman version from Victoria Station to Bath for the day. That, too, was a wonderful experience!! I can't wait to board the VSOE again to do the Venice--> London route.

[@432b86ed]

Thanks for taking us along with you. And I so appreciate the lack of audio (music) embellishment, which so many youtubers *_insist_* upon doing . As a lifelong US citizen who has seen a great deal of what it has to offer, it pales in comparison to what I've seen in Europe. sigh

[@MsLoopyLoops]

the bar wagons weren't there in the old days, thats relatively new

[@Meira750]

@@MsLoopyLoops The lounge wagons were tho. I can't imagine spending 2 days huddled in my cabin.

[@ericjamieson]

Definitely going to do this. Just as soon as I win the lottery lol.

[@HANSMKAMP]

I may once do it. Even if it means that I have to spare some money. Recent prices are about 5000 euros and higher (depending on what you exactly want).

I saved travel money in 2020,and going. Soon as life goes back to normal I will afford to travel like QueenElizabeth

WOW, A 5 STAR experience on a train...amazing, how luxurious and beautiful it is!!....

[@sasmac1829]

A beautiful,elegant and efficient service

[@heru-deshet359]

I wish there were these kinds of trains in America.

[@sarahanne1235]

Great footage! Also loved seeing inside the Pullman, as I’ve only ever seen the outside of this train going past my house in Folkestone.

[@cornells.1367]

After watching the South African Rovos Rail episode you realize the huge difference in class, style, quality and professionalism of the staff. Sadly, almost no comparison... Orient Express is at a B- at most, while Rovos is an A+ without question.

[@alfredfeagins1886]

This is luxury at its best. Check out the immaculate uniforms worn by the train crew. I've never been to Europe, but if I am fortunate to travel there my tour would not complete without a trip on this train.

Great video. I do wish you could put some information up in the video for the different food dishes you ate

[@hippychicken82]

Thank u so much for this i loved every minute, i probably will be unable to ever go on one due to funds so this is the closest ill get! Thanks again 💗

[@TaylorStJohn-fp9zs]

This train is an architectural marvel. I absolutely love the woodwork and classic interior finish out. I so wish we had something like this in the United States. Amtrak's are fun, but in terms of the aesthetic, architecture, and overall ambiance, the experience does not come close to this level.

[@Justmyopinionlol]

I am surprised there is no accident with those boat taxies going so close to each other on the little canals of Venice (boats don´t have brakes). Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@Clameni]

I live in Venice, I assure you there are. The boats do not have brakes, but they reverse in full power

[@huahintrainspotters]

One of the best Orient Express review ever, thanks for your experience.

[@elamateur3122]

Thank you for making that exclusive experience available to everyone. Document all your trips, you do it well!

[@Persfoto]

thanks there are a few online, will try to post more in the future

[@TomasNHarder]

Looked like a fantastic trip: One thing though; the moment you went on the couch, it seemed like the level of service and attitude with the staff, went one way, down. And the way you got served, it seemed like they actually was throwing the food on to your plates... the beginning managed to serve baguettes with a bit of style behind it...

[@mickeencrua]

Service was top class. Don't know what video you were watching.

[@Caziclady2]

This was a worthy trip. Would have liked more caption explaining where you were and what was up. Thanks!

[@TheVaughan5]

Thanks for the upload. This highlights just how ordinary and tacky modern trains are in comparison, they have speed and nothing else. On a related subject, it's a tragedy that the Italian Govt. lacks the courage to severely limit the number of tourists at any one time to Venice - the city is losing all it's citizens and is in danger of becoming a place purely for tourism which means it's no longer a real city but just a theme park.

[@HorridDave]

I'm sorry, but how would it be losing its citizens? Surely if tourism is growing so does the need of actual italians taking care of the business?

[@jonathantan2469]

A lot of native Venetians are moving out due to high property prices (hard for young Venetians to buy), high living costs (tourism plus logistics since all essentials are shipped by boat), and non-tourism related businesses moving to the mainland where costs are lower.

[@samuellourenco1050]

True story! The same is happening in Lisbon. People are being dislodged. Community places are being converted to hotels, and the cost of housing and rents is now prohibitive, especially in the historic zone.

[@Francesca42]

Yes, I too have heard that Venice has gotten too expensive for the Venetians to live there so they are moving outside of Venice. I have also heard that some Italian cities are thinking of limiting the number of people allowed in at a time. I don't see how they can do it though.

[@Meira750]

Absolutely and what about the monster cruise ships floating past the Doge's palace? Abomination! What is that wake doing to the foundations????

[@MsMeditatingPanda]

Enjoy this very much. What a dream.

[@Rob-jf9jn]

Such a beautiful and elegant train. I so so so want to go on it. One day, it’s def on me bucket list
