Wealthy travellers are snapping up reservations on board Italy’s newest luxury train, “La Dolce Vita” before they’ve even finished building it – and it’s easy to understand why. With overnight suites for two people ranging from 6,600 euros (around US$7,400) to 25,000 euros (around US$28,000) per night, the luxury train is a modern reimagination of the famed Orient Express rail service that transported passengers across Europe from 1883 until 1977.
Similar to a cruise, La Dolce Vita isn’t the most efficient way to get from point A to point B; it’ll take days to reach your final destination. Instead, the trains will make various pit stops along their routes with time allotted for passengers to get out and explore.
