Life may move faster than ever, but when it comes to travel we all yearn to slow down and experience the ride. On this episode of @thegrandtouristpodcast , @danrubinstein takes you on board a true phenomenon of luxury today: the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express (@vsoetrain ). Now a part of the blockbuster travel group @belmond , the famous train and its sister rides across the globe are part of a rewiring of how we think about getting away from it all. Speaking with Belmond’s Arnaud Champenois (@arnaudcc ), Dan explores the line’s history, the magical journey taken by The Grand Tourist’s Matthias Ernstberger (@meandfriendsnyc ) on the VSOE and eventually to @belmondcastellodicasole , plans for the group’s future, and much more.
