Evolution of Orient Express luxury rail travel

Overview

The Orient Express has evolved from a historic international rail service into a series of specialized luxury travel experiences. Originally launched in 1883 by the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits, the service famously connected Paris to Constantinople, traveling through multiple countries.

Following changes to its routes and the cessation of the original service in 2009, the brand's legacy is maintained through modern luxury ventures. These include the Venice Simplon Orient Express, which uses vintage carriages for routes such as London to Venice, and the La Dolce Vita Orient Express, which offers themed journeys through Italy from Rome to Venice.
