If my husband could read my mind this Valentine’s Day (a skill I am still patiently waiting for), he would know exactly what my heart is craving.
Not a surprise date he planned and booked all by himself.
Not roses.
Not even chocolate.
La Dolce Vita Train by Orient Express
Picture this: Valentine’s Day in Venice, my favorite European city, where every corner feels like a love letter and getting lost is half the romance.
Three nights of wandering through misty canals, sipping Venetian spritzes, holding hands over candlelit dinners, and pretending time doesn’t exist. Venice just gets love.
Then, because why stop when life is already feeling cinematic, we do the most extra, indulgent thing imaginable.
On February 17th, at 19:30, we step onboard the La Dolce Vita train, leaving Venice behind as the sun dips and the champagne flows. One overnight journey. One rolling dream. Destination: Rome, arriving on February 18th at 20:30.
This isn’t just a train ride. This is old-school glamour with a modern wink. Plush interiors, impeccable service, and that feeling that you’ve somehow wandered into a Fellini movie. The kind of experience where you make a little extra effort for dinner, linger over conversations, and fall asleep to the gentle rhythm of the tracks.
And yes, luxury comes with numbers:
-
€3,500 per passenger in a Deluxe Cabin *
-
€4,700 per passenger in a Suite Cabin *
* Just to be very specific and keep things easy, this is a one-night journey on these dates. Sharing this so not only my husband knows, but every partner knows.
Is it indulgent? Absolutely.
Is it romantic? Unquestionably.
Is it the ultimate Valentine’s fantasy? Without a doubt.
And just when you think it can’t get better… we arrive in Rome, because all great love stories deserve an encore. A few more nights of history, pasta, late-night walks, and that magical Roman chaos that makes you feel wildly alive.
So dear husband (and universe, if you’re listening): This is my Valentine’s wish.
Venice.
La Dolce Vita Train by Orient Express.
Rome.
No pressure……..
