In addition, three international itineraries will travel through eight countries, linking Rome to Paris, Istanbul and Split, Croatia. At stopovers in Rome, guests will even be able to check


into the very first Orient Express hotel, Accor’s Grand Hotel de la Minerva, scheduled to open in late 2024.  Inspired by the glamour of Italy’s 1960s La Dolce Vita lifestyle, each


sumptuously decorated train will have 12 deluxe cabins, 19 suites and a restaurant. Meals will feature chef-driven haute cuisine and award-winning Italian wines. Prices start at around


$2,255 per person, per night. EURONIGHT In September, EuroNight service from Sweden-based SJ trains began carrying passengers from Stockholm to Hamburg, Germany, on a route that wasn’t even


possible before the opening of the 5-mile-long Öresund Bridge 22 years ago. Passengers depart Stockholm Central at about 5:30 p.m. and arrive at the Hamburg-Altona station at 6:30 the next


morning, ready to take on the day. From Hamburg, they have many options for rail connections to other European cities.  Overnight accommodations are available for every budget, from private


sleeping compartments with their own bathrooms to shared couchettes with berths and carriages with seats, both with shared baths. Limited food and beverages are available on board. Prices


start at around $47 for a couchette.  Julian Weber/dpa/Alamy Live News NIGHTJET Take advantage of a growing network of overnight rail services to more than 28 cities in 14 countries on

Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and Switzerland, expanding sleeper rail service throughout much of Europe. Nightjet offers

come with shared carriage baths. A la carte breakfast is included with the sleeper cabin, and hot and cold food and snacks are available to all overnight passengers. Prices start at around


$206 per night for a single cabin.
