La Dolce Vita Orient Express — What Are You Really Paying For?
From Rome, the fast way to Venice is the Frecciarossa: just under four hours. La Dolce Vita Orient Express does almost the opposite. It turns the journey into the holiday itself.
In this episode, we follow the one-night Rome-to-Venice itinerary. It starts in the dedicated La Dolce Vita Lounge at Roma Ostiense and takes in lunch on board, an afternoon in Tuscany’s Bolgheri wine country, dinner in the Restaurant Car and live music in the Bar Car.
Along the way, we ask whether the fare is paying for transport, a cabin or dinner — or something harder to put a price on.
