The La Dolce Vita Orient Express is far more than a simple journey through Italy—it’s a cinematic experience where every detail transports passengers to a world of timeless elegance. Designed by the acclaimed Dimorestudio, its carriages pay homage to the pinnacle of 1960s Italian design, with nods to masters like Giò Ponti and Osvaldo Borsani.
With 11 carriages, the train is a space of exclusivity, welcoming only 62 passengers to ensure an intimate and personal experience. For those seeking an even more singular immersion, the "La Dolce Vita" Suite is the height of refined comfort, blending opulence and coziness with a king-size bed, timeless design armchairs, and private bathrooms. Round-the-clock room service allows guests to enjoy the journey with maximum ease and relaxation.
The itineraries are meticulously crafted to showcase Italy’s rich diversity of landscapes. Departing from Rome, routes include iconic cities like Venice, Florence, and Milan, as well as must-see destinations such as Sicily, accessible via the world’s only passenger railway ferry. Whether one-night or two-night journeys, each route is an immersion into the colors, flavors, and sounds that make Italy unforgettable. Let’s explore the two options?
The two-night journeys, such as Rome → Venice → Portofino or Rome → Venice → Siena, are perfect for travelers who wish to explore Italy’s icons while savoring local cuisine, fine wines, and breathtaking landscapes at a leisurely pace. The one-night journeys, like Rome → Montalcino or Rome → Maratea → Palermo, offer an equally rich experience, combining culture, wine, and Italian cuisine in an intense and captivating way.
In the dining car, gastronomy becomes a celebration of Italy, with menus crafted from the country’s finest ingredients. From breakfast to dinners paired with rare wines, every meal is an invitation to explore Italy’s culinary traditions. The bar car is the perfect place to unwind to live music, sip artisanal cocktails, or enjoy a curated selection of wines and spirits while watching the Italian landscape unfold outside the window.
Before boarding, passengers can relax at the Orient Express Lounge in Rome’s Ostiense Station—an exclusive space offering personalized services, rest areas, and showers—ensuring the experience begins and ends with the same sophistication and care.
More than mere transportation, the La Dolce Vita Orient Express is a journey through time, a celebration of life, pleasure, and beauty. Every moment onboard becomes a memory etched in time forever. Are you ready to step into this timeless journey?
