      Italy has always been synonymous with art, culture, and elegance, and now it welcomes a new icon that celebrates its beauty in motion: the La Dolce Vita Orient Express. Officially inaugurated on 3 April 2025, this luxury train is more than a means of transport—it’s a travelling masterpiece, immersing its guests in Italy’s unique charm, from design and cuisine to breathtaking landscapes and warm hospitality. The Train: A Masterpiece on Rails
      With 31 cabins, 18 suites, 12 deluxe cabins, and the signature La Dolce Vita Suite, the train epitomises meticulous restoration and design excellence. Originally Z1 Italian model carriages, each has been reimagined with technical and artisanal expertise from Southern Italy, specialising in railway craftsmanship. The restoration work, carried out between Brindisi and Palermo, marks the creation of Italy’s first private luxury rail fleet—a project that will ultimately include six bespoke trains. Interior Design: A Tribute to Italian Genius
      The interiors, conceived by Milan’s Dimorestudio, celebrate the golden age of Italian design. Geometric echoes of Giò Ponti, the sensual modernism of Gae Aulenti, and whispers of Osvaldo Borsani blend seamlessly, embodying mid-century glamour. Every detail serves as an homage to La Dolce Vita and the cultural pulse of 1960s Italy, creating an atmosphere that feels timeless and sophisticated. Elegance on Rails
      Designed by the renowned architecture firm Dimorestudio, led by Britt Moran and Emiliano Salci, the La Dolce Vita Orient Express is a tribute to Italian genius and style. Inspired by legends like Giò Ponti and Gae Aulenti, the interiors feature a blend of vintage glamour and modern sophistication, drawing inspiration from the iconic allure of the Sixties. The result? An atmosphere that feels timeless yet refreshingly luxurious—a train where every detail tells the story of Italy.
