Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, A Belmond Train (Verona to Amsterdam)

When it comes to train journeys, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is the gold standard. Depart Verona on an overnight run to Amsterdam, where dinner is the headline act, served in beautifully restored restaurant cars on crisp linen. Order your favourite tipple, ask the pianist for a tune and let the Bar Car work its magic, before retiring to your Art Deco cabin as the train makes its way northwest across Europe, delivering you to the canals with style to spare.
