It's just as glamorous as you'd expect.

La Dolce Vita Orient Express announced that it will soon be ready for guests to book tickets for what could arguably be called the most luxurious train journey in the world.

Travelers can choose from nine distinct journeys, each "promising a blend of luxury, culture, and history," according to the company, with the first departure setting off in the spring of 2025.  La Dolce Vita guarantees an unforgettable adventure, with its first departures taking place in the spring of 2025.
