Jeri Clausing With travelers expected to embrace more immersive and so-called "slow travel" experiences post-pandemic, luxury operators continue to add more options for exploring Europe and North America by rail. Belmond, which operates the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express that is synonymous with luxury train travel, recently announced new routes and three new grand suites. The company said it has added five new boarding points in Rome, Florence, Geneva, Brussels and Amsterdam. Itineraries include one-night journeys from Florence and Rome through the Italian lakes and snowy Swiss mountains, a Geneva-to-Venice ride through the Brenner Pass and a tour of Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam on its new Venice-to-Amsterdam route.
