Pascal Deyrolle, General Manager of The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, joins Melissa Biggs Bradley to talk about the rich history of train travel in Europe, the timeless elegance of the restored train cars, the preservation of artisanship, and the incredible experiences travelers have had and continue to have on The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express TRAIN. Pascal and Melissa transport you to the past as it meets the present…to a world of royalty, spies, legendary authors, glamour, and elegance. In the conversation, they’ll also touch on the exquisite dining experiences you can have on board the train, live piano in the bar car in the evenings, the majestic views, and the best time of year to train travel. This week’s Travel Hack focuses on keeping it simple and streamlining your luggage to travel carry-on only when flying in order to save time, money, and inconvenience.
