Itinerary - 7 Night Luxury Holiday by Air + Rail

Day 1

Board the Venice Simplon Orient Express

Fly with British Airways from London to Venice in Euro Traveller Class and then transfer to Venice Santa Lucia station. Board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and begin your adventure, travelling across Europe to Krakow. Dinner is served before your first night in your private cabin suite.

Days 2 and 3

Krakow

Arrive in Krakow in the afternoon and check in for a 2 night stay at the Sheraton Krakow.

You then have 2 nights to explore the cobbled streets of Poland's "culture capital". As one of the great survivors of Europe, overcoming war and Soviet domination, Krakow is a beautiful city with a wealth of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Visit the hilltop Wawel Castle and shop for Polish amber and hand crafted gifts in the magnificent Cloth Hall on the market square. Explore St Mary's Church, adorned with elaborate decoration and an impressive gothic altarpiece by Veit Stoss.

Day 4

Venice Simplon Orient Express to Dresden

Spend the morning discovering Krakow at leisure before you meet your fellow passengers at the hotel and depart for the Benedictine Abbey of Tyniec for a choral concert and refreshments. You are then transferred to the station where you re-board the Venice Simplon Orient Express.

Settle back into your luxurious cabin suite and enjoy dinner onboard as the train travels towards Germany.

Days 5 and 6

Dresden

The train arrives in Dresden in the morning. On arrival check in for a 2 night stay at the Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden.

Capital of Saxony, Dresden is arguably Germany's most attractive city with an abundance of Baroque architecture. Most of the city centre has been beautifully reconstructed after being destroyed by heavy bombing during World War II. The city's reconstruction also includes important works of modern architecture, such as Sir Norman Foster's new train station, which sit alongside renovated buildings such as the Frauenkirche Church.

During your stay, enjoy a city tour with highlights such as the Zwinger, which was once a setting for court festivities, the stunning architecture of the famous Frauenkirche and the views from the grand Brühl terrace which overlooks the Elbe River.

Days 7 and 8

Returning to London

On your last day in Dresden, enjoy another morning at leisure, before rejoining the Orient Express after lunch. Afternoon tea and dinner are served, as you spend your final night on board.

The train arrives in Paris after breakfast and a delicious brunch is served in the restaurant cars as you travel on towards the French coast for the Channel crossing. On arrival in Folkestone join the cream and umber carriages of the British Pullman for the journey to London. A traditional English afternoon tea accompanied by a glass of champagne is served to you at your table and you watch the gentle scenery of Kent pass by. All to soon, you are drawing into London Victoria station.

Venice

Venice

With its unique atmosphere, Venice has entranced visitors for centuries. Get lost in the winding narrow streets and pretty little campos. You will always end up back at the Grand Canal, with its grand palazzos and distinctive stripped mooring poles. Don’t miss the spectacular St Mark’s Square with its ornate Basilica or the little boutiques on and around the Rialto Bridge.

Krakow

Krakow

As the former capital city of Poland, Krakow has an array of historical and cultural delights to offer visiting tourists. Mixing the old and new in terms of architecture and vibe, the city has a unique character - helped in part by its roots in art, its geographical location in central Europe and its academic standing, being home to three major universities. Some of the aforementioned tourist attractions include St Mary's Tower, from where a trumpet fanfare sounds every hour, on the hour and the imposing Royal castle on the Wawel Hill.

Dresden

Dresden

LLocated along the banks of the River Elbe between the Ore and Elbe Sandstone Mountains, Dresden is one of the greenest cities in the world, situated in the UNESCO World Heritage listed Elbe Valley. Visit the beautifully restored Frauenkirche, take a tour of the beautiful, Baroque style Zwinger Palace or survey the city from Brühl's Terrace, known as the ‘Balcony of Europe’ and overlooking the River Elbe.
