Inside the upcoming Orient Express La Dolce Vita train

The launch of the new Orient Express La Dolce Vita might still be a while off, but it seems as though the highly anticipated service will definitely be worth the wait. Renderings of the 11-carriage train, which pays homage to the “La Dolce Vita“ period of the 1960s, have been unveiled, revealing a plush interior that looks more like a boutique hotel than a railway car. Orient Express La Dolce Vita is to be made up of six trains, each featuring 12 “deluxe cabins,“ 18 suites, an “Honour Suite“ and a restaurant carriage offering a “five-star dining experience“ including “award-winning Italian wines and exclusive haute cuisine.“ Each of the trains will travel across 14 regions and 131 cities around Italy, as well as from Rome to Paris, Istanbul and the Croatian port of Split, with trips lasting between one and three nights, when it begins welcoming passengers in 2023.
