Sorry to tell you, belle, but next train is in two days time only on Sept 8, 2000.

You have to wait till August 2001 to take this trip.

But of course, this is for Paris - Istanbul and Istanbul - Venice Route only. The other routes are available from May 2001, I believe

But what does "Orient Express" mean without visiting Istanbul???

Did you know that Agatha Christie wrote "Murder in Orient Express" after she took the same trip from Paris in Istanbul? You can still visit her room in Pera Palace Hotel.
