Venice Simplon-Orient-Express & Uniworld Venice River Cruise
Luxury rail and river cruise holidays combining the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express with Uniworld Boutique River Cruises
Arrive in Venice aboard the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express before continuing your journey through the Venetian lagoon aboard Uniworld’s floating boutique hotel, S.S. La Venezia.
This exclusive luxury rail and river cruise holiday pairs two of Europe’s most elegant travel experiences: the timeless glamour of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and the intimate, all-inclusive style of Uniworld Boutique River Cruises.
Uniworld’s Venice itinerary explores the city and its surrounding lagoon in a wonderfully immersive way, with visits to places such as Burano, Mazzorbo, Torcello and Chioggia, alongside special experiences in Venice including Doge’s Palace and an after-hours visit to St Mark’s Basilica on selected departures.
Packages can be arranged with flights, hotels, private transfers and carefully matched travel dates. No-fly itineraries from London by Eurostar and European rail may also be possible on selected departures.

Combine the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express with Uniworld’s Venice Cruise
For clients looking for a truly memorable way to experience Venice, this combination brings together the romance of rail travel with the comfort of a boutique river cruise. Travel aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express in beautifully restored Art Deco carriages, then continue your holiday aboard Uniworld’s S.S. La Venezia, a floating boutique hotel designed for exploring Venice and the surrounding lagoon.
Uniworld’s Venice cruise offers a different perspective on the city. Rather than staying in one hotel, your ship becomes your elegant base on the water, taking you beyond the main sights to the colourful islands and quieter corners of the lagoon.
Whether you prefer to arrive in Venice in style aboard the VSOE before joining your cruise, or finish your cruise with a spectacular Venice to Paris rail journey, Mulberry Travel can arrange the full itinerary around your preferred dates.
Why Combine VSOE and Uniworld?
A Seamless Venice Luxury Holiday
The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is one of the most iconic ways to travel to or from Venice, combining fine dining, exceptional service and the glamour of beautifully restored historic carriages. It creates a spectacular beginning or finale to your Italian holiday.
Uniworld’s Venice itinerary then slows the pace, allowing you to explore the lagoon in depth. Highlights may include colourful Burano, peaceful Mazzorbo, historic Torcello, authentic Chioggia and memorable Venice experiences such as early access to Doge’s Palace or an after-hours visit to St Mark’s Basilica.
Together, they create a luxury rail and river cruise itinerary that is far more distinctive than a standard Venice city break. Flights, hotels, private transfers and optional rail arrangements can all be handled by Mulberry Travel, with every element tailored around your preferred departure.
