Orient Express

From October 2025, La Dolce Vita Orient Express will offer two golf-themed itineraries: “Northern Greens” and “Italian Swing.” The new voyages were announced this week in a newsletter sent by Orient Express.

Since Orient Express first re-emerged in 2016, following a near-40-year disappearance, and its subsequent acquisition by Accor, the company is in its “most exciting phase” of its renaissance, according to Gilda Perez-Alvarado, Chief Strategy Officer of Accor and CEO of Orient Express.

Reservations have opened for the first Caribbean voyages of Orient Express Corinthian, which begin on 12 October 2026.

The 14-night voyage is priced from 60,200 Euro per suite for two people, based on a Suite Panoramique.
