Belmond’s Venice Simplon-Orient Express train will launch a new itinerary in 2024 connecting Paris and Portofino on Italy’s Ligurian coast.<\/p>\n
The trip will happen just one time, June 20-23.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The three-night itinerary will take travelers through the French countryside to the Italian Riviera on an overnight journey, along with two nights in Portofino at Splendido, a Belmond Hotel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Onboard the luxury train, guests will be treated to a tasting menu by the train’s resident Michelin-starred chef Jean Imbert, who will curate a gastronomic experience inspired by the new route.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Guests can also expect a continental breakfast served in their cabins as the train makes its way through Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo along the French Riviera before crossing the Italian border.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In Portofino, Imbert will join guests at Splendido for a five-course tasting menu at La Terrazza restaurant. There will also be a private film screening for guests in Portofino’s Piazzetta, the heart of the port town.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prices start at approximately $8,525 per person, based on double occupancy.<\/p>\n
