Belmond is operating the new three‑night “Villeggiatura by Train” itinerary on the Venice Simplon‑Orient‑Express, departing Paris on 4 May 2026 and running 4–7 May 2026. (belmond.com) The inaugural itinerary lists an estimated 11:00 departure from Paris and an estimated 15:30 arrival at Pompeii, followed by a two‑night stay on the Amalfi Coast at Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Ravello. (belmond.com) Belmond pairs on‑train cabin categories with hotel rooms — Historic Cabin guests are allocated a Superior Garden Room, Suite bookings include a Sea View Junior Suite, and Grand Suite bookings include a Sea View Terrace Suite — and the package includes meals, sommelier‑selected wines and 24‑hour steward service. (belmond.com) The itinerary’s land experiences include a privately guided VIP tour of the Archaeological Areas of Pompeii, a scenic boat tour along the Amalfi Coast, bespoke cooking classes and a gala dinner at Caruso; luxury car transfers link Pompeii station, the archaeological site and the hotel. (belmond.com) Published reporting and booking pages show fares for the Paris→Amalfi Villeggiatura start at about £8,600 per person based on two guests sharing (covering the train night, meals, excursions and the two‑night hotel stay), and reservations are available through Belmond’s booking portal. (travelmonitor.com.au) Belmond’s Paris–Amalfi launch is being rolled out alongside a broader 2026 night‑train revival that includes new Paris–Berlin services from European Sleeper and expanded Milan–Brussels–Amsterdam night links among operators planning wider sleeper networks in 2026.
