For the 2026 season, a journey on the iconic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express (operated by Belmond) is a luxury investment. For two people sharing a Historic Twin Cabin, prices typically start at approximately £7,770 ($9,800) for a one-night journey, such as the classic Paris-to-Venice route. If you wish to upgrade to a Suite with a private marble en-suite bathroom, the cost for two people rises to roughly £19,320 ($24,400). For the ultimate pinnacle of luxury, a Grand Suite—which includes 24-hour butler service and free-flowing champagne—can cost upwards of £24,600 ($31,000) for the pair. These prices are "all-inclusive" for onboard meals, including multi-course dinners prepared by world-class chefs, but do not include drinks at the bar or off-train excursions. Because the train only runs from March to December and remains one of the world's most sought-after travel experiences, bookings for 2-person cabins in 2026 often sell out more than a year in advance.
