This legendary train service started in 1883 from Paris to Istanbul and was considered the utmost in luxury train travel. The who's who retinue of passengers include film stars, royalty, spies, and writers. Rechristened as the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, the present-day train has been assembled from the original European Orient Express route carriages dating which date back to the 1920s and 1930s. The beauty lies in the restored carriage details which have art deco touches and work by famed French glass artist René Lalique.
