TRAVEL IN LUXURY AND ELEGANCE
Embark on one of the world’s finest trains – the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Travel in luxury and elegance across Europe, passing through alluring cities.
King Boris of Bulgaria once drove it through his country. A French President fell off it in his pyjamas. Isadora Duncan wore a veil (and little else) aboard it. Robert Baden Powel and Mata Hari travelled clandestinely on it. It inspired Agatha Christie, and now you could experience its magic and romance for yourself. Whether you choose to travel as yourself or incognito, its mystery will shape your journey.
The original Venice Simplon-Orient-Express first left Paris for Constantinople in October 1883 and was the most glamorous way of crossing the Continent. That much has not changed, but today there is a choice rail journeys within the Belmond collection – any of which will be the most fascinating topic of conversation at your next dinner party.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
The team understand our family’s needs and consistently tailor each trip to suit us perfectly. From carefully chosen hotels to excellent local partners and well-planned touring, the advice and recommendations are always spot on.
