All Aboard The Orient Express: Live at MASTERS by inVOYAGE

Legendary train journeys. A spectacular new sailing yacht. Extraordinary hotels. And one very special evening at The Savoy. This November, Orient Express is getting ready to pull out all the stops as they sponsor our first evening of MASTERS by inVOYAGE at The Savoy, with signature brand moments and inspired moments of rail, sea and hospitality. Expect a taste of the unexpected, and a glimpse of a brand with some seriously exciting experiences to discover.  

AN ORIENT EXPRESS NIGHT AT THE SAVOY

So, what can guests expect? Orient Express will bring its world of rail, sea and hospitality to The Savoy through a series of signature activations designed to immerse guests in the brand. And there’s plenty to discover beyond the evening itself, from a spectacular new sailing yacht to a fresh take on Italian rail travel and two exceptional hotels bringing the Orient Express style to Rome and Venice.

Whether it’s the romance of a journey by train, the freedom of the open sea or the chance to stay somewhere truly distinctive, Orient Express is creating new ways to experience some of Italy’s most captivating destinations. Here’s a closer look at what’s on offer.

From the Rails to the Open Sea

Orient Express is taking its distinctive approach to luxury travel onto the water. Meet Orient Express Corinthian, a spectacular sailing yacht bringing together innovative technology, exceptional design and the romance of the open sea.

At around 220 metres long, Corinthian combines innovative SolidSail technology with 54 suites, restaurants led by celebrated chef Yannick Alléno, a Guerlain spa, swimming pool and marina. It brings a fresh perspective to luxury sailing, pairing the romance of the open sea with the service and design of a world-class luxury hotel.

Their sister yacht, Orient Express Olympian, is also planned for 2027, expanding the brand’s ambitions at sea and opening up some fresh new possibilities for anyone considering private groups, executive retreats or incentive programmes on the water.

A Different Way to See Italy

While Corinthian takes Orient Express onto the water, La Dolce Vita Orient Express brings its own interpretation of luxury travel to Italy’s railways, drawing inspiration from the style, cinema and glamour of the 1960s.

Launched in 2025, the train features 31 cabins, including Deluxe Cabins and Suites, alongside a signature suite, restaurant and bar. Interiors take cues from Italian mid-century design, while onboard dining and carefully curated itineraries celebrate the country's rich culinary and cultural heritage.

Journeys are designed to reveal Italy at a different pace, connecting destinations, landscapes and cultural highlights along the way. Bespoke charter possibilities also offer scope for private groups looking to make the train part of a wider incentive or celebration.

For a programme built around discovery, it’s an opportunity to bring together the pleasure of rail travel, exceptional food and the unmistakable character of Italy.

Venice Gets the Orient Express Treatment

Venice has no shortage of remarkable hotels. But Orient Express Venezia is arriving with a rather special address.

Set within Palazzo Donà Giovannelli, a 15th-century palazzo, the property brings a new expression of Orient Express hospitality to one of Italy’s most captivating cities. With interiors by architect and designer Aline Asmar d’Amman, the restoration draws on the building’s history, pairing its architectural heritage with rich materials, intricate detailing and the theatrical atmosphere associated with the brand.

With 47 rooms, including 11 suites, and a culinary vision led by three-Michelin-starred chef Heinz Beck, Venezia offers a distinctive base from which to discover the city.

For incentive planners, the opening brings another way to experience Venice, with the palazzo providing a memorable setting for a stay that can be paired with private dining, cultural discovery and journeys through the wider region.

Rome, Reimagined: Orient Express La Minerva

In Rome, Orient Express La Minerva brings the brand’s signature style to the heart of the Eternal City. Set within a historic palazzo close to the Pantheon, the hotel combines centuries of Roman heritage with contemporary design and a distinctly theatrical sense of hospitality.

The property’s interiors celebrate the building’s history while creating an elegant setting for discovering the city, from its iconic landmarks and cultural treasures to its celebrated food scene. With dining, rooftop views and the energy of Rome on the doorstep, La Minerva offers plenty of scope to shape a stay around the interests of each group.

Together, La Minerva and Venezia bring two very different sides of Italy into the Orient Express collection. Whether the brief calls for the grandeur of Rome or the canals and palazzi of Venice, both properties offer a distinctive starting point for a luxury incentive programme.

Grand Italian Tours: Four Assets, One Extraordinary Journey

What happens when you bring the Orient Express world of rail, sea and hospitality together? Grand Italian Tours offers the answer.

The signature experience combines journeys aboard La Dolce Vita Orient Express, stays at Orient Express Venezia and Orient Express La Minerva, and voyages aboard Orient Express Sailing Yachts to create a connected way to discover Italy. Each itinerary has its own rhythm, bringing together at least two modes of travel and pairing them with curated experiences on land.

Picture travelling through Italy by rail, checking into a historic palazzo and continuing the journey along the coastline aboard a luxury sailing yacht.

For incentive programmes, it opens up exciting possibilities for multi-stop itineraries that bring together travel, culture, gastronomy and exceptional places to stay. Rather than building a programme around a single destination, you can connect several distinct experiences into one seamless journey.

One Name. One Unforgettable Evening.

From the romance of Italian rail journeys to the spectacle of luxury sailing and stays in historic palazzi, there’s plenty to discover in the world of Orient Express.

This November, you’ll get a taste of it firsthand at MASTERS by inVOYAGE, as the brand brings its signature style to The Savoy for an evening of immersive experiences, unexpected details and a few surprises along the way
