INSIDE THE MIGHTY ORIENT EXPRESS ! 

In May 2017 we went on a special trip to Venice, train both ways, Euro Star to Paris, TGV to Turin, overnight in Turin and onward to Venice. Three perfect days in Venice , but to top it all off, the we had the pleasure of travelling on the Orient Express from Venice to Calais/London , trip of a life time, carriages were spotless, food was fantastic and the service was superb. Our attendant was the candle on top of the cake. Great Video

Just a quick clean after the last murder.

Ce train est magnifique. Déjà la livrée bleue nuit et or, comme devrait l'être tous les trains de nuit, et puis cet intérieur Art Déco, les déco Lalique, la marqueterie, le confort des assises,... Ce train fait le voyage Calais-Venise, mais surtout, il transporte dans le temps, dans une atmosphère années folles. Ca doit être un régal de voyager à son bord. Vraiment merci pour cette vidéo.

Re the Pullman: In Europe and Britain, 'Pullman' refers to a car much like a dining car except that passengers occupy their places for the entire journey and food/beverage service is available throughout the trip. Pullmans were once very common in Britain; a particularly famous Pullman service was the British-French Golden Arrow-Flèche d'Or (London-Paris), now, alas, long defunct.

wow: the art deco, the Rene Lalique appliques and the marquetry are of a stunning quality in this 'Agatha Christie' train

A cruise ship on rails. Best private varnish if I've ever seen one. What a train!👍

2:52 the "entreprises industrielles charentaises" in Aytré still exist today, it is a major train factory nowadays owned by Alstom, where TGV's train are built. It's a mile south of La Rochelle Train station (which is one of the most beautiful train station of france)

2:30 Pullman in this context means at seat dining. 3:18 CS is Czechoslovakia. These have been around a while....

All trains should be like this piece of art!

Thank you for that! I'll probably never get to ride the Orient Express, but it was great to see the epitome of elegance on rails. Still, I can envision James Bond battling with "Red" Grant in that sleeper compartment!

Excellent report, Thibault, well done. I love the old feeling of solidity, luxury and tradition.

Breathtaking...art deco and a train. What more could you ask? Polished wood paneling - check, gold covered everything - check, real chairs and couches - check, a baby grand piano in the bar car - check, service unmatched by any other mode of transportation - check, and a toilet fit for the queen - check. No wonder I can't afford it. Thanks for showing me how the other half lives...truly incredible.

All of your videos are lovely....Orient Express has always been a rhapsody on European rails.....the coaches are very old, and recently have been modified with new bogies I believe

Thank you for sharing this wonderful details of the VSOE. I love this train luckily I've been on it twice. A must take trip in a lifetime.

Wow!! That is an extraordinary piece of art. I feel like you would need to spend days onboard to enjoy every little detail.

Travelling in this train must be awesome 🤩🤩🤩 I heard the route between Brod and Vinkovice is lovely, especially during snowy winters ❄❄❄

I went to the website to see the price... wow!

The Best Train In terms of Luxury is Maharaja Express 🇮🇳 Voted World Leading Luxury Train at World Travel Award 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2018 . But This Train is Also good👍

Best TOILETS TIME hands down

On se croirait vraiment dans Hercule Poirot !!! Bravo à toi Thibault, c'est comme si on y était.

I rode on The Orient Express from Paris to Berlin a couple of years ago. It was the single greatest travel experience of my life! To any true travel enthusiast - Yes! It's worth it! It certainly isn't cheap BUT the experience and memories will last a LIFETIME.

Northern Rail have similar trains... And then we woke up

My absolute favorite vid by you.That train is so beautiful it brings tears ti my eyes.The 1974 version of Murder on the orient express is my favorite who done it and one of my top movies of all time.Thank you so much

I used to have a model of the VSOE train.but only ten coaches.including three sleeping cars,some Pullman cars and a service coach.It looked very impressive pulled buy a German steam engine or a Swiss electric locomotive.When I stopped it at one of the stations it looked a grand sight!

This is the best luxury train I have ever seen. Perhaps one of the best trains to exist?

Les trains de nuit ont toujours été les meilleurs Super vidéo comme toujours

I wish I had the money to send you on this train! Finally you review a decent train!

Riding the VSOE has always been a dream

WOWWW AMAZING VSOE VERY LOVE ❤🥰🥰🥰💥💥💥💥💥👍👍👍👍👍 THANK YOU BYE

Love this train what a look on that machine!

Amazing! By the way, who is the young lady with the nice boots?

Thank you very much for sharing!

Super vidéo, c'est du train haut de gamme !

I've seen this in Milano Lambrate,few days ago.

Thank you for this video, it's the first time I see with a better quality something I forever wanted to see at this train, the service car hallway, that is. I know they are different because they are made in the UK for European railroads and they did it differently, the lights are a bit off, not on the middle, and the windows have a different wood configuration around them. I hope you know you are extremely lucky to be on board this history marvel in Art Deco style that works and earns money, part of the European values and heritage, the symbol of freedom to travel and individual freedom to travel, work and speak that is the Venice Simplon Orient Express. I cannot wait to get on board it once again, when it passes my home city, Bucharest. Also I've seen you've perfected your English, if you remember some time ago, 9 or 12 months ago, there was a guy here calling you a total noob and yelling at you to perfect your English, I've seen you worked on that, congrats. Other than that, try next time to pay attention to the microphone so we won t hear your breath. It' s not unpleasant but it's unprofessional.

Les décorations Lalique... Même chez moi je n'ai aucun objet de chez Lalique, Daum ou Baccarat... Tu m'étonnes que les prix sont exorbitants ! Le luxe à l'état pur !

Superbe vidéo! Magnifique train ! Dommage que les prix soient si élevés mais comme ça on peut rêver encore plus!

Great video !!

Io l’ho visto Giugno a Venezia!! Bellissimo!!!👍🏻😍

Greece has also two cars ( sleeping car and restaurant car ) from Simplon-Orient Express

Start your Patreon now, maybe in 10 years we see you on it!

We travelled on this to Venice 2 days later - 27/28th; this report has missed out the best part of the train - a Grand Suite - royalty!

2:56 Salut le gilet SNCF 😂😂

I think the main visible defect is the white color of the ceilings. I couldn't believe that when I saw it in the video. This reminded me to the royal train of Italian king, built in the beginning of XX century which cars had very beuteful and decorated ceilings. Therefore I do not understand why this is missing in the VSOE. For the rest is obviously a wonderful train set.

Terrific way to tour the train, when it's stopped "cold". Felt like Cheryl Ladd might come around the corner, at any moment! Ps am curious to know how three separate companies can all (legally) use the "Orient Express" appellation: Belmond, ACCOR and OBB/SNCF?

Very interesting dindnt even purchase tha train ticket

Please sir coverage for maharaja express train in india

¡Maravilloso!

Impressionnant

I hope one day to make a trip report on Simplon-Orient Express.

Very nice video!

you forgot Austria 😱😭😜there is a trip from Vienna to Paris and one from Venice to Vienna via the famous Semmering

Common people: Does this train have WiFi? Venice-Simplon Orient Express: In this train, you don't ask these questions. You Travel.

I'm definitely riding this train after I win the lottery! Where's hercule? They have a freaking piano on a train🤔

One question, how did they get the piano in there?

The website luxury-trains.co.uk says 55,000 pounds (per person) with Grand Suite from Istanbul - Paris via Bucharest and Budapest and back, that's I believe €63,000. Good lord, the prices lmao.

This train has its depot in my town, near Venice

Is the VSOE a type of museum or does it run?

IF it was all the way to Istanbul perhaps i would swallow 4700 € ticket price, but for only 1 night.. NO WAY!

OMG

Being used to watching minimalist interiors in the modern trains that you review on this channel, this video celebrating the classic interior decor of the restored coaches was a complete shock. I am also intrigued by the infatuation of the Europeans for the ornate objects of the bygone era.

In your video you say there is 16 carriages , but then you say 5 sleeping cars on one side of the service car and dinning cars and bar car then service car and six sleeping cars on the other making side making 17 cars, when i was on it there were 18 carriages, 6 sleeping cars each end , 2 service cars (one either side of dining and bar cars), 3 dining cars, the marquetry , Lalique, and black Japan Lacqure then the bar car .

Camera moves too fast. I got dizzy.

Do passengers smoke on these trains, i am a non smoker.

7:08 beautiful?! That toilet is enough to make anyone constipated. It should have a white toilet seat not a black one!

En plus tracté par une 26000

80 some year old grand luxury railway cars on much newer trucks or bogies.

@6:18, nice boots sweetheart

All this France videos tell me that you live here

Imagine if someone sprayed graffiti on the VSOE trainset lol

The orient express is not the most luxurious train I; the world it is a Indian sleeper train

Looks like a bunch of workmen in jeans filming and when you get to the sleeping cabins merchandise left on seats and upturned stalls what a disgrace👎

5:49 HOW CAN THIS LUXURIOUS TRAIN TRAVEL ON THE SH***Y RAILS IN ROMANIA?! 😂

Difficult to watch you are dodging around too much, keep still and steady, dreadful!

DEFINITELY NOT AMTRAK!
