La Dolce Vita Orient Express
italy
Embark on a timeless odyssey through Italy, steeped in elegance, adventure and the spirit of la dolce vita
In Rome, summer reveals itself as a state of grace. A luminous stillness bathes the ancient stone in gold, the scent of jasmine lingers in the evening air, and every corner whispers of history and possibility. From this eternal city, a journey of exceptional beauty begins aboard the La Dolce Vita Orient Express – a celebration of Italian artistry, refinement and sensual discovery.
Imagined by Dimorestudio, the train’s interiors echo the golden era of Italian design. Influences from Gio Ponti, Osvaldo Borsani and Gae Aulenti converge in a symphony of rich textures, sculptural forms and impeccable detail. It’s an homage to the sophisticated glamour of the 1960s, reimagined for the modern traveller.
This summer, eight bespoke itineraries unveil Italy at its most evocative. Fourteen regions unfold in a slow, deliberate rhythm: Venice’s mirrored canals, Portofino’s jewelled coastline, the ochre-tinted hills of Tuscany, the mystique of Matera’s stone dwellings, the sunlit splendour of Sicily. Each destination is an immersion into place, inviting you to connect with its culture, craftsmanship and culinary heritage.
Onboard, the journey becomes a sensorial experience. Menus by three-Michelin-starred chef Heinz Beck reflect the terroir of the landscape beyond the window, transforming local ingredients into exquisite expressions of season and story. The service is intuitive, the ambience serene, and each moment curated to embody la dolce vita in its most elevated form.
La Dolce Vita Orient Express offers more than passage – it offers presence. A way of seeing, feeling and savouring Italy with uncommon depth. In Rome, the promise begins. And from here, the art of travel is reborn, sumptuous, soulful and unforgettable.
