If you are worried about what to wear for your journey remember you cannot never be overdressed. At dinner the management request that men do wear a suit and tie and ladies smart attire, during the day smart casual, leave the jeans at home. Don’t be concerned about finances they use Euros but if you have a credit card that will be very acceptable. Journeys can be extended, they can last from one to several days, the most popular though is the aforementioned London to Venice and it takes 3 days with one day spent on board. One item that does worry people is their luggage, especially if you are going to do something afterwards perhaps like a cruise or a holiday. There are luggage racks in the cabin but space is limited per passenger to one suitable piece of hand luggage, suit carrier or overnight bag. You can take suitcases but they are stored in the baggage car and will not be accessible until you reach your destination. Without doubt the Orient Express is one of those must do on your Bucket List. What price do you put on a Golden Wedding Anniversary trip? Seats on the Orient Express have never been cheap, but then again it is a holiday of a lifetime, and I should budget in the region of at least £2,000 per person for the sojourn. 41
