Set to launch in Spring 2025, the La Dolce Vita Orient Express promises to whisk travelers on a rail journey through Italy’s most breathtaking regions. Adventurous globetrotters will have the choice of eight unique one- or two-night itineraries, guiding them through the enchanting landscapes of Italy.
But the luxury rail experience will offer more than just stunning Italian vistas; the recent announcement of Chef Heinz Beck’s appointment as the head of the train’s culinary program is sure to elevate the journey even further. Renowned for his three Michelin-starred restaurant La Pergola in Rome, Chef Beck, in collaboration with Beck and Maltese Consulting, will design exclusive dining experiences that celebrate Italy’s diverse landscapes.
“Guests will have the chance to discover our beautiful country not only through its landscapes but also through our menus: from the early morning until the midnight snacks,” said Chef Beck. “We want to spread the Made in Italy knowledge in a new, different way, showcasing the different traditions of each region so the passengers will be able to create a stronger and deeper connection with the territory.”
