Venice Simplon Orient Express

 

Seeing an average of 30 on-board proposals every year, a historic Venetian train is considered the most luxurious and romantic locomotive in the world. Used by the Nazis during World War II, the train was subsequently abandoned and fell into disrepair. Restored to its former glory in 1982, today this luxury line provides five-star service and breathtaking views of Europe's countryside to passengers looking for a unique travel experience with a bit of old-school glamour. In the engaging documentary THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS TRAIN, hear the stories of the newly engaged couples, honeymooners, train enthusiasts, and staff members taking a 36-hour ride into the golden age of travel.
