Chemins De Fer Orientaux 1867-1883 Prelude 2 of 20
ORIENT EXPRESS 1 OF 10 Prelude Chemins de fer Orientaux 1867-1883 PRELUDE 2 OF 20 Prelude 1867-1883 The genesis of the Orient Express — a direct luxury train service between Paris and Constantinople — cannot be attributed to a single person or organization. Several historical developments coincided. After a train trip through Europe, Sultan Abdülaziz decided that Constantinople should be linked to the West by rail. This plan was carried out by Baron Maurice de Hirsch and his Chemins de fer Orientaux. Meanwhile in the US, George Pullman developed the luxury sleeper car that enabled overnight train travel. The Belgian Georges Nagelmackers introduced this concept in Europe. Requirements Still, not all the requirements had been fulfilled. A consultative body was needed to make the highly fragmented European railway companies work together. The first International Timetable Conference took place in 1872, the same year that Nagelmackers introduced his first Wagons-Lits and the first train entered Constantinople. But it would take over 10 years before the Orient Express could be launched. PRELUDE 3 VAN 20 Constantinople and the Bosporus 1862 A journey to Constantinople over the Mediterranean or via the Danube and Black Sea took at least one week. PRELUDE 4 OF 20 The Sultan's tour 1867 In 1867 Abdülaziz was the first Ottoman sultan to travel through Europe. He visited the Paris World Exhibition, was received with ceremony in London and visited Brussels, Berlin and Vienna on his way. He mostly traveled in his own imperial railway carriage. For centuries, the Ottoman Empire had been a closed bastion. From 1840 onwards sultan Abdülmecid carried through reforms.

Press Introduced by Gillian Rhys
P R E S S K I T Venice Simplon-Orient-Express introduced by Gillian Rhys HISTORY The legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express recreates all the magic of the golden age of travel. A collection of original 1920s carriages crafted to convey the rich, famous and powerful throughout Europe, it is one of the world’s great travel experiences. Each of its 17 carriages was once part of glamorous, historic trains such as Le Train Bleu and the Rome Express—and has its own story to tell. The advent of air travel saw luxury trains fall from favour — but in 1977 American businessman James B Sherwood (founder of the Belmond portfolio) sensed a renewed appetite for a more elegant style of escape. Encouraged by press interest in antique carriages at a Monte Carlo auction, he snapped up two sleeping cars with a view to launching a fabulous vintage train linking London and Venice. He continued to seek out more, scouring Europe’s museums, railway sidings and even private gardens where some lay abandoned or used as fanciful dining rooms. All were lovingly restored to their Art Deco splendour and relaunched as the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express in 1982. Two sleeping cars, 3543 and 3544, feature interior designs by the renowned designer René Prou. During the Second World War the latter was stored in Limoges, France where it was used as a brothel. Sleeping car 3425 was part of the train on which King Carol of Romania escaped with his mistress in 1940. The three dining cars have equally intriguing pedigrees.
