That's wonderful. Taking this trip is on my bucket list. Do you know the route the Pullman Car took through the UK from London to Folkestone? Been trying to figure it out on Google Earth, but can't.
Pascal Liger I would give anything to travel on the most gorgeous, classy ,beautiful, charming train in the world . I have watch this train on films ,Drama, Thriller, .

I worked for VSOE right after graduating from Cesar Ritz. I was stationed in Venezia and would board the train every week. I was able to travel to Dusseldorf and Calais. I truly cherish the memories.
@Daniel Suh Did you find the trips from Venice to Calais tiring working on the train ? I guessing you had to work long hours and that sleep quality on the rocking moving train might not be the best.
@@gilbydog7350 I worked as Cost Controller and took maybe about 3 trips in total, 2 to Calais and 1 to Dusseldorf. But hearing from the staffs (stewards, cooks, waiters, and managers) the trip was arduous but no one complained.
Iarciabella -- One of my favourite movies! Made this train so near and dear to me! (Albert Finney will always be aboard attempting to solve the mystery!)
Is it really worth? I always think about taking this trip but I am so afraid to be disappointed. It will cost about 20k euros for my husband and I to spend 4 days with the train, but I dont know if it's worth. For the same 20k we can travel for 20 days in luxurious hotels and eating at Michelin starred restaurants. But from time to time the wish to make this trip comes back in my mind...
Orient Express will be famous again in the near future.In every country of Europe people hard working on this project. I am a part of it too. Between years of 2014-2015 i worked on the railway project DB Projekt Stuttgart-Ulm,which will the part of new high speed train express through Germany and it will connect with Austria and Hungary too. I am really proud of my job on this great tunnel building projects. Greetings from Slovakia.
Thank god I'm not the only one to figure that one out ;) My wife was pretty clueless, but the mysterious lady in the red kimono is a reference a Poirot fan simply cannot miss.
@ThatSwedishGirl88 The inclusion of a woman wearing a red kimono walking away down the carriage was so clever. I hadn't noticed it. Well done to you for spotting it.
I TOTALLY AGREE ! The ONLY BEST WAY to really see a country is by traveling on board a train (preferably a luxury liner such as the one depicted in the video above) ! If you fly in a commercial airliner ✈️, then all you'll see are clouds ☁️☁️☁️☁️ ! If you ride in a boat ⛵, then all you'll see is the river, ocean 🌊, or some other body of water ! If you take the train 🚂, then you'll be able to see villages 🏘️, towns, rivers, oceans 🌊, mountains ⛰️, forests 🌳, caves, beaches 🏖️, and so much more depending upon where the tracks 🛤️ were laid out and all 😊 !
@@savedfaves these conditions are severely deleterious even worse for *the elderly (Like my grandfather) *I told them not to fly over 5 to 10 timezones due to prolonged exposure to the cabin pressure, and your aforementioned conditions when he reached his 90th birthday 3 years ago based on this Reference material-getawaytips.azcentral.com/hazards-airline-travel-elderly-5373.html
Having to take a bus to cross over to France is a real anticlimax. I would certainly prefer to take 1st class Eurostar across and then board the Orient Express there: really dislike going by bus, no matter how luxurious.
Well, as of next year, you can no longer book the orient express from London. When I did it we got the British pullman (like ion the video) and then took the bus. But from next year, you will take the Eurostar to Paris, and then go from there.
The restoration on those over 100 year old carriages is incredible. The train appears to be smooth riding. I've noticed the different type of bogies under the carriages. This and proper track maintenance may be the reason. I would love to experience a trip on this beautiful train.
This is like something out of the past, like going back in time. Class, elegance, beauty, quality, good service, good manners. One would never see this nowadays in a modern setting, not even in first class travel or accommodation. How can the world have gone downhill to such an extend within the last 100 years?
For the majority of the population, the good changes outweight the bad. Besides, if you are wealthy enough nothing prevents you from building your own little victorian world, as proves this train.
I've watched or attempted to watch many train travel videos. This is certainly one of the best. Many are 20 sec to 2 min - not long enough to get a feeling of anything. Many only show the scenery, and others are far to shaky to see anything. In this, the camera is smooth and stable and shows that it is a quality camera with someone who knows how to use it properly and can select the right shots to give the viewer an opportunity to appreciate your experience. BRAVO, well done and thanks.
Awesome. I just remember a train trip 3 yrs ago when we were travelling to a rock festival near Prague (just a normal international train). At Bratislava, a guy entered our coupe, seemingly having the same destination. As conversation went on about the festival (using English), I just made a remark that he has a nice French accent. He just said that "Actually I'm from Belgium. And my last name is NOT Poirot." We ordered champagne in the bar car and laughing that it at least a bit feels like having a trip on the Orient Express :)
Yes and demonstrate decent table manners. Some of the stuff I've seen in past years is getting closer and closer to piggies shuffling thru the undergrowth. I've seen snuffling piggies with taking more care about eating than some.
As of three minutes ago I was to be boarding in Paris bound for Venice, fulfilling a forty year dream. Dan COVID 19. But if this is the greatest tragedy of my life l am lucky. We are still having champagne at ten PM!🥂
hehe it was actually a rhetorical question, I meant it is a shame that such incredible works are no longer produced and these talents no longer coveted.

Thank you very much, great video. Much better then the ones by orient express themselves and others which are usually too short, too fast and or talk too much about the train instead of actually showing the atmosphere and all things to expect. This video was perfect balanced. Not too much, not to little and no unneeded commentary :) I love it
Travelled from Venice to Calais then we took a private coach into london rather than train into London city ( one of our family had severe travel sickness) never the less...it was an adventure I will never forget. The vistas in Switzerland omg! My late Dad had worked for the railway in NZ and we used to ride the old steamers from Auckland to Wellington frequently. To travel on this old beauty was a thrill my late Dad could never have imagined for me. Great video...thank you for sharing.wonderful memories.
Thank you for sharing. Your footage was perfect. The train looks absolutely beautiful & amazing. Hopefully one day I will experience the journey myself. 👍🏼
oh this is absolutely lovely. Traveling like in the early 20th century and getting a feeling what luxury travel must have felt like back then. I envy you for this experience that you will always look back to during your whole life. Future generations will hardly have a chance to experience this as well. Lucky you. This video was awesome!
I actually love train travel so much better than airplanes. Instead of taking a plane from London to Paris and have no legroom and space you can ride the the eurostar train and have space and freedom! Plus you get to see beautiful scenery
Great video. I enjoyed every minute of it. I really liked the attention to detail here like showing the types of food to the history and the types of cars. I try to get every detail during my travels to get a true feeling of it later and this was the case here.
I read about the Orient Express in an encyclopedia during my high school years, I have been fascinated with it since then. Today it's called the Venice Simplon Orient Express. It was called the train of Kings & the King of trains. When Itravel long distance, I travel by Amtrak train, it doesn't have anywhere near what the Venice Simplon Orient Express has, but the ride is great, it's comfortable, a great way to see the countryside and on the train you can talk to other passengers, take pictures, walk on the train. I enjoy train travel very much, it's the civilized way to travel.
I'm not sure that I'd wantvto drink champagne with eggs on a bumpy train trip lol but other than that it seems lovely. The lounge bar car is perfect and a bathtub on a train is amazing.
Just wanted to say how great this video is. My family and I are going on the Venice Simplon Orient Express in April, and this has made us extremely excited. Your blog was also very useful and an extremely interesting read.
Carol: I want to take my gorlfriend for her 70th birthday in a few years. This is the only thing holdong me back. What are the cost ( U.S. Dollars), and what are the bathrooms like ? I'd hate to have to go and have to wwait on a line.
Agatha Christie's classic novel Murder on the Orient Express made this train's name known to almost all educated Indians. And I would definitely like to travel in it someday
Ruby20111000 mits not luxury when you have to share the toilets,and no showers,God even Emirates have shower.How can you get dressed for dinner without having a shower? Passengers must honk by the time they leave the train.

Pagan Forge: It doesn't. The train starts from London Victoria.
I love trains! There is “something” about them* And the Orient Express? A dream come true!
Yes, you are not travelling faster than your soul can catch up.
Some folks just don't get trains.... and it is hard to explain to them what they are not seeing
My biggest wish is taking Cunard QE 2 across the Atlantic to London and of course catch the train

Absolutely stunning. It is a dream of mine to take a trip just once, on this beautiful train.
Having to take a bus to cross over to France is a real anticlimax. I would certainly prefer to take 1st class Eurostar across and then board the Orient Express there: really dislike going by bus, no matter how luxurious.
I totally agree, and the coaches are ugly looking what happened to the old fashioned coaches we had as kids they were so much nicer.
It's only half an hour, I'm not bothered at all. Looking forward to it.
