Belmond has revealed plans for a new cabin category aboard the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, A Belmond Train, Europe – eight new Suites will join the rake from June 2023, bringing new heights of luxury and comfort to the original legend of the rails.

Joining the two pre-existing cabin categories, the Suites add a new expression of opulence to the train, steeped in history and cared for with the utmost respect to retaining the craftsmanship of the 1920s and 30s.

Two original carriages have been restored by expert French craftsmen and designers, who have reimagined the spaces on board the train whilst maintaining their golden era of travel look and feel.
