More than 150 years ago, Georges Nagelmackers launched the first luxury Orient Express train. Soon, Orient Express will head back to the tracks to offer travelers a variety of journeys through Italy and beyond. From the luxury rail tourism project signed by Arsenale S.p.A., now in association with Orient Express of Accor Group, comes the Orient Express La Dolce Vita, which will welcome its first passengers in 2023.

Six trains will offer several itineraries across 14 regions, including three international destinations from Rome to Paris, Istanbul and Split. A stopover in Rome will feature the very first Orient Express Hotel, Minerva, scheduled to open in 2024.
