Summary
Life may move faster than ever, but when it comes to travel we all yearn to slow down and experience the ride. On this episode, Dan takes you on board a true phenomenon of luxury today: the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Now a part of the blockbuster travel group Belmond, the famous train and its sister rides across the globe are part of a rewiring of how we think about getting away from it all. Speaking with Belmond’s Arnaud Champenois, Dan explores the line’s history, its sister hotels that work in fabulous combination with VSOE’s journeys, plans for the group’s future, and much more.
