Before it’s even finished, wealthy travelers are already securing reservations on Italy’s newest luxury train, La Dolce Vita. It’s not hard to see why.
With overnight suites for two people ranging from €6,600 to €25,000 per night, the luxury train is a modern reinterpretation of the famous Orient-Express. It carried passengers across Europe from 1883 to 1977.
