Venice Simplon Orient Express: Video guide

A guide to the Venice Simplon Orient Express luxury train. How much does it cost? How to buy tickets? When does it run? For all of that, see https://www.seat61.com/Venice-Simplon...

The video shows the VSOE check-in at London, brunch on the British Pullman train to Folkestone, crossing the Channel by coach on the Eurotunnel shuttle train, and the Continental train from Calais to Paris & Venice showing the sleeping-cars, bar, all 3 restaurant cars & the excellent food at dinner.
The VSOE takes the Arlberg & Brenner route to Venice, so also see the Arlberg Pass scenery video at    • Arlberg Pass: Zurich to Innsbruck by ...   and the Brenner Pass scenery video at    • Brenner Pass: Innsbruck-Verona by Eur...  .

Oh, and on a personal note, at 00:07:13 in this video you'll see S-type sleeping-car 3425 at Paris. In that very end vestibule of 3425 right in front of the camera, Mrs Seat61 & I accidentally got engaged in a snowstorm somewhere in the Brenner Pass, back in October 2003.
