VENICE SIMPLON-ORIENT-EXPRESS RINGS IN 2010 WITH INSPIRING NEW ITINERARIES

Ellen Barone

Following in the tradition of grand voyages of discovery, Orient-Express has launched its 2010 schedule of train journeys and cruises. Crossing borders and continents, the trains and cruises open up the heart of destinations from France to Myanmar offering unique experiences outlined in a new brochure and at www.orient-express.com.

The world’s most famous train, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, continues to evoke the style of the Golden Age of Travel with beautifully restored 1920s and 1930s carriages and itineraries that are more exciting than ever. The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is the legendary train travelers imagine when they hear the evocative words “Orient-Express.”

Today the train still represents timeless elegance as it criss-crosses the frontiers of Europe from Paris and Venice to Prague, Krakow and Istanbul. Very much alive and well, with all of its history and glamour intact and uninterrupted, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is not to be confused with an unrelated overnight train that ceased operation in December 2009.
