The leading Italian holiday specialists, Citalia, are presenting a unique opportunity to voyage upon the Orient Express and experience their exclusive, luxury rail travel this October.
Charm, adventure and sophistication are assured when embarking on the Venice-Simplon Orient Express, as you journey to the magical city of Venice.
Travelling upon one of the great railway experiences can be a reality with the Citalia voyage to Venice, as they present a notable deduction of £936 per couple.
Scenic travel is much more appreciated when undertaken by train and the Orient Express is arguably the most famous and refined of rail journeys in the world. Synonymous with luxury and romance, it played host to royalty and celebrities, who voyaged overnight in the elegant carriages whilst travelling around Europe from 1883 until 2009, when it ceased to operate.
The original 1920s and 30s carriages have been refurbished to recreate the truly majestic ambiance, famously dramatised in Agatha Christie’s 1974 book and the film ‘Murder on the Orient Express’. Citalia on the Venice-Simplon Orient Express offers the chance for you to experience the romance of that bygone era through their journeys from London to Venice and other destinations in Europe.
Known distinctively as the ‘floating city’, Venice, which is built on stilts, is steeped in history, shrouded in romance and boasts a wealth of culture. Rich with bustling piazzas, vibrant markets and ornate architecture, Venice is made even more unique by the lack of cars and roads throughout the city.
The intricate network of canals, alleyways and bridges means that the city is best explored by boat and this, combined with a journey on the iconic Venice-Simplon Orient Express, makes for a once in a lifetime holiday.
The four-night break to the city of Venice including travel on the Orient Express is £1,949 per person. The price includes the exclusive saving for Citalia customers of £938 per couple and is based on 13 October 2013 departures.
