La Dolce Vita Meets the Greens in 2 New Itineraries:

Northern Greens

Duration: 4 days, 3 nights

Golfing excellence meets the timeless elegance and charm of train travel.

For true connoisseurs, Northern Greens is an invitation to experience every swing in style, immersed in the beauty of Italy’s most prestigious courses—Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, host of the 2023 Ryder Cup, Franciacorta Golf Club, Royal Park I Roveri, and Antognolla Golf Club.

Italian Swing

Duration: 4 days, 3 nights

Designed for true golf lovers, this exclusive itinerary invites you to experience every swing in style, playing on Italy’s most iconic courses — Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, San Domenico Golf Club, The Club at Castiglion del Bosco, and Antognolla Golf Club — surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and exceptional atmospheres.

Both Itineraries Feature:

  • Luxury Golf Meets Rail Travel - La Dolce Vita Style

    Unparalleled golf by day, where your train becomes a traveling salon, with every detail meticulously crafted to offer a bespoke experience, where time slows down and the journey becomes a work of art.

    The train's interiors are a salute to the Italian design golden age and embody the spirit of mid-century glamour, an homage to La Dolce Vita and the cultural pulse of 1960s Italy.

    Onboard, guests are treated to menus composed by chef Heinz Beck, inspired by the regions they traverse.  The whole experience is distinguished by its high level of service, while stops at select destinations allow passengers to explore the unique cultural and historical aspects of each region. La Dolce Vita Orient Express invites travelers to rediscover Italy, slowly, elegantly and with remarkable attention to detail.

    The golf itineraries feature curated masterclasses, exclusive events, and refined accommodations.

  • Professional Golfer: 

    You’re accompanied by a renowned professional golfer throughout the journey, who will offer bespoke technical sessions and casual guidance.

  • An Unforgettable Journey for Non-Golfing Partners, too:  

    Each stop will feature curated experiences catering to non-golfers as well.
