For decades, the Orient Express dazzled travelers thanks to an unforgettable combination of luxury and adventure. Fortunately, magic will return to the rails once again in 2023 when the fabled Orient Express returns to Italy. Upon opening its doors in 2023, the Orient Express La Dolce Vita will feature six trains that will lead passengers on itineraries spanning more than 14 regions.

“It is thrilling to be bringing the refined nomadic spirit of Orient Express back to life for a new generation of travelers," said Stephen Alden, CEO Raffles and Orient Express, Accor, in a statement. "The original train route was innovative in the way it paradoxically brought cultures together – the Occident with the Orient, history with modernity. As artisans of travel, we wish to revive this old-world, awe-inspiring ‘journey to elsewhere’ and reconcile certain paradoxes: a journey and a destination, astonishment and inspiration, movement and contemplation."

On the decor end, Dimorestudio, a global architectural and design studio, will incorporate the craftsmanship, design and creativity of the 1960s and 1970s into the trains' cabins, suites and restaurants. Additionally, the 5-star service on board the Orient Express La Dolce Vita will come courtesy of renowned local and international chefs and sommeliers.

Booking information and pricing for the Orient Express La Dolce Vita have yet to be announced.
