One of the main draws of traveling to Europe is the timeless streets not often seen in the US
While the US is full of ugly potholes and overpriced coffee in inauthentic cafes, Europe tends to be the opposite.
You know, charming cobbled streets and lovely terraces serving the best cappuccino you can imagine.
Speaking of cappuccinos, Italy is going one step further with an unforgettable new experience for tourists.
Taking the best tidbits of 1960s train travel and enhancing the ride with a modern flair, the La Dolce Vita Orient Express is both classic and luxurious.
Although the final touches are still being worked on for months, the cards are already ready for sale.
Those who want the ultimate European experience with “guess what I did!” Bragging rights should instantly reserve your seat on this vintage train.
Perhaps Europe’s most unique train journey, there won’t be a more memorable way to explore Italy in 2025.
Why grab a chair when you can score a master bedroom?!
All travelers, whether plane, train or bus, have had to ask themselves at some point whether upgrading seats is worth the expense.
Not often is the upgrade an entire master bedroom. Usually a few extra inches of legroom or perhaps a USB port are the added benefits, but the La Dolce Vita Orient Express is made differently.
Designed with 12 Luxury cabins and 18 Suite cabinsfight the urge to splurge with such tempting amenities on board.
Luxury cabins:
Stay in luxury in the ‘Deluxe’ featuring vintage-inspired design with modern comforts. No cheap Austin Powers-esque shag carpets or pale colors.
Not your average sleeper train with cramped bunk beds, but how about a sofa that turns into a spacious double bed?
Room service is available at the touch of a button and what better country to dive into the food than Italy, with savory dishes such as olives, fennel taralli, Italian cheese boards and breadsticks?
Not to mention the spark plug dining carcocktail lounge and Italian café if you choose to leave your chic digs on board…
These glamorous cabins feature window tables where you can eat and drink while enjoying stunning views of Italy’s beautiful sites.
Suite cabins:
Those who want the best of the best, a Suite cabin is for you. Designed and advertised as master bedrooms, this lavish property is as close to a hotel penthouse on rails as you can find.
Including all the chic amenities of the Luxury cabinbooking a suite is for more space, privacy and comfort.
Featuring an optional double bed, 2 armchairs, a sofa and a private bathroom, this elegant room is a far cry from traditional train journeys.
