Venice Simplon-Orient-Express: Paris to Verona (Classic route)

The Paris to Verona Classic route is a one-night journey. You board in Paris on day 1, enjoy dinner as the train sets off across Europe, sleep aboard, and arrive in Verona after breakfast on day 2, where the journey concludes.

The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is one of the world's most storied luxury trains, made up of meticulously restored 1920s carriages. Guests dine in elegant restored dining cars, gather in the historic lounge car and retire to a cabin or suite as the landscapes of Europe pass the window.

Fares start from around USD 5,057 per person sharing in the entry cabin category. The price varies by date and cabin type, and the exact fare for each departure is shown on this page, since rates can change.

Departures are on sale from 8 October 2026 through 22 December 2027, with many dates across that period. The full list of bookable dates, with the fare and availability for each, is shown on this page.

Five categories are offered: Historic Cabin, Suite with a double bed, Suite with twin beds, Grand Suite, and L'Observatoire. Fares rise from the Historic Cabin upward, and our specialists can describe each category and check availability on your date.

The two suite options differ in bed layout: the Suite - Double has a double bed, while the Suite - Twin has two separate beds. Choose whichever suits your travelling companion, and ask us if you would like help comparing the suites with the Grand Suite.

The fare includes one night aboard the train, table d'hote dining with brunch and afternoon tea in the restored dining cars, a welcome drink on boarding, onboard entertainment and steward service throughout your journey.

After boarding in Paris you enjoy a table d'hote dinner in one of the restored dining cars as the train sets off. Breakfast is served the next morning before arrival in Verona, and the fare also covers brunch and afternoon tea as served on the journey.

The listed inclusions cover the train journey itself, so hotel stays and transfers in Paris and Verona are not part of the fare. Our travel specialists can help you arrange a hotel before boarding and after arrival if you would like to extend your trip.

A deposit of 15% of the fare secures your cabin or suite. The balance is due 61 days before departure. Our team will confirm the exact amounts in writing when you book.

Children can be booked, with child rates in two bands based on age at departure: under 5, and 5 to 11. Please contact us so we can confirm the right cabin arrangement and fare for your family.
