Venice Simplon Orient Express
 

I was watching a show about the venice simplon orient express and it looks amazing. My question is how welcoming are they for young single travellers, as it looked like mostly middle-age couples on that train. Also, as a non-drinker, will I be looked down upon for not ordering alcoholic drinks?

At London Victoria, there was a huge queue to check-in too, even worse then BA F at LHR T5 :rolleyes:

Some of the facts on the show do not add up, for instance they said that 300 drinks are sold per trip for 180 pax, which does not seem a lot.

You'll be welcome on board but as a single, you'll most likely have to pay a single supplement. You do not have to drink alcohol. You can stick with mineral water. But I think you have to dress up for evening meals.
