YouTube Video Description

Watch this video to see what it’s like to travel across Europe on 12 Trains from Venice to London! But instead of taking just one, we traveled on some of Europe’s most famous trains. This just may be Europe's ULTIMATE Luxury Train Adventure (Venice to London)! Of course, the most well known rail link between these two cities is the world famous Orient Express. But with tickets starting at about $4,500 for just one night, we figured we’d do the Orient Express for less while making even more memories along the way. But, in order to match the five star feeling as best we could, we booked First Class accommodations every chance we got. And we’ll keep a running tally to see whether we saved money on this DIY Orient Express. We’ll also share a Train Travel Tip or three we picked up along the way so if you choose to make the same trip, you’ll have an easier time than us! Our first leg is onboard a brand new Frecciarossa 1000 high speed train! And, not only that, we’ll be in “Executive Class,” which is a true First Class Train. From there, we’ll try out Business Class on another Frecciarossa train. After that, we were on an Italian Regional Train, Tren Nord. Then, we took the world famous Bernina Express train up into Switzerland. Or at least that was our plan and this trip didn’t go according to plan! Due to a last minute cancellation, we had to take a Swiss Commuter Train instead. And we also had plenty of unexpected “replacement buses,” too! But, eventually, we reached Saint Moritz. The next travel day put us onboard the world’s “slowest express train,” the Glacier Express train from St. Moritz to Zermatt. This offered some of the most stunning scenery we’ve ever encountered from a train, but it was also almost too much. Eight hours of nonstop visual overload on Swiss Trains left us tired. But that didn’t stop us from exploring the Swiss Alps. From Zermatt, we did our best to reach Paris, but the Swiss Trains had a few more surprises in store for us! But, eventually we reached Lausanne and the TGV Lyria, which we’d booked in First Class to Paris! From Paris, we’d booked the Eurostar in Business Premier on to London. But, naturally, even our last travel day wasn’t without hitches. This was our most ambitious trip ever! And, the video started with more than five hours of raw footage, which we condensed into our longest video, yet. At 40+ minutes, it’s a risk, but we hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it! Here’s a link to more information about how we booked these trains: COMING SOON!
