Venice Simplon-Orient-Express Historic Cabins

The most common and most affordable cabin onboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is the Historic Cabin, formerly known as the Twin Cabin. Although it is the smallest of all cabin categories, it is still comfortably sized for two people and, with a large window, offers a light and airy space.

The main difference between the Historic Cabin and the other cabin categories onboard lies in the conversion from a daytime lounge to a bedroom. Grand Suites offer sufficient space for a permanent lounge with a separate sleeping area, whereas the Historic Cabin must be converted between the two. Stewards discreetly transform Historic Cabins from lounges into bedrooms while passengers are enjoying dinner.

Passengers are free to explore the train and relax in the bar car, meaning the time spent in the cabin may be minimal. For those who prefer to socialise, admire the carriages, and experience the train throughout the journey, a Historic Cabin provides the ideal space for sleeping and storing luggage.

Historic Cabins include a washbasin with running hot and cold water, but do not have en-suite facilities. However, a WC is located at either end of each sleeping carriage. All suite cabins, including Suite Twin and Suite Double options, feature en-suite bathrooms, while Historic Cabins remain true to their name, preserving the traditional cabin layout of the original train.

Venice Simplon-Orient-Express Single Cabins

Now, due to the upgrade of the Cabin Suites and Grand Suites, unfortunately, it is no longer possible to book a Single Cabin aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Solo travellers are still able to book, of course, but there is a single occupancy supplement, which in effect is like paying for two passengers. If you are looking to book as a solo traveller aboard the train, please get in contact, as we may be able to reduce the cost of the single occupancy charge.

Venice Simplon-Orient-Express Cabin Suites

A Venice Simplon-Orient-Express Cabin Suite is formed by combining two interconnected Twin Cabins. The result is effectively one room dedicated to sleeping and another for lounging. In short, a Cabin Suite offers double the space of a Twin Cabin.

Ideal for those who prefer greater privacy, a Cabin Suite is a popular choice. Having both a sleeping and a lounging area removes the need for conversion by the stewards and allows passengers to rest or take a nap during the day if they wish.

A Cabin Suite benefits from two large windows, providing additional natural light, as well as an interconnecting door that can be opened to make full use of the extra space. For those considering a longer journey onboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, a Cabin Suite can be a wise choice.

Please note that Cabin Suites were replaced on 15 June 2023 by the Suite Twin and Suite Double cabins, details of which are outlined below.

Venice Simplon-Orient-Express Suites (double or twin)

Inspired by the landscapes through which the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express travels, these elegant suites feature beautiful designs influenced by renowned Art Deco designers Lalique and Dufrêne.

The suites complement the existing Historic Cabins and Grand Suites perfectly, offering an ideal in-between option for passengers seeking additional space and comfort.

Each suite features a private en-suite bathroom with an intricately designed mosaic floor, providing the added luxury of personal facilities. All new suites also include complimentary amenities, such as slippers and a kimono to take home.

Please note that there is a limited number of Suite Twin and Suite Double cabins onboard. For this reason, we strongly recommend booking well in advance to secure a suite on your preferred journey.

Venice Simplon-Orient-Express Grand Suites

The largest and most opulent cabins onboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express are the Grand Suites.
