La Dolce Vita Orient Express, Italy
Overview
The Dolce Vita journey travels through Italy’s sun-gold countryside: Florence to Venice and Milan to port towns on Lago Como – each segment dappled with seasonal light and rolling vineyards. Carriages are retro-Italian glam: soft leather, velvet, polished walnut, and Murano glass lamps set against whispering leather sofas.
Culinary experience is a symphony of season: white truffle risotto in Piedmont, aged Parmesan pasta in Parma, saffron-based dishes in Milan, all served with vintage Franciacorta or refined Italian reds. Between courses, the train pauses as if in conversation – by vineyards, lakeshores, or ancient aristocratic villas, often timed at sunset.
Sleeper cabins drift beneath frescoed ceilings, the gentle click of tracks lulling you through olive groves and dusky vineyards, while the bar car spins Italian jazz and limoncello is passed under moonlight. It’s less travel, more memory-making – in sudden landscapes that feel borrowed from a film set and lived in by your senses.
