Paris to Monaco on the Orient Express starts at €4,870 per person - Ouest-France
Belmond’s first Monaco departure is planned for 10 May 2027. The starting fare includes meals and a night aboard, with shared toilets in Historic Cabins.
Belmond’s Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is adding Monaco to its route on 10 May 2027. The advertised starting fare is €4,870 per person for one night from Paris, with two guests sharing a Historic Cabin. Dinner, breakfast and a morning along the French Riviera are part of the attraction. A private bathroom costs more.
At that published starting rate, two people sharing pay €9,740 between them. Belmond’s announcement includes the overnight journey, meals, the sommelier’s selection of wines, unlimited soft drinks, steward service and transfers. The Paris transfer takes you from your accommodation to the departure station.
This is an advertised entry price, subject to availability, rather than a fixed fare for every cabin. The €4,870 is not the price of the compartment for two.
A Historic Cabin has daytime banquette seating that converts into sleeping berths, and its own washbasin cabinet. Toilets are shared at the end of the sleeping carriage. The name may conjure a grand hotel room, but these cabins retain the more compact arrangements of vintage rail travel.
The higher-category Suites have private marble en-suite bathrooms, with double or twin beds. If having your own bathroom matters more than the historic compartment, the Suite is the category to price. Grand Suites add separate lounge and sleeping areas.
The planned journey follows the red cliffs of the Estérel before passing Saint-Raphaël, Cannes and Nice. Breakfast is served in the cabin as the train travels along the Côte d’Azur. Arrival is at Monaco-Monte-Carlo’s underground station; passengers booked farther on can continue towards Venice.
Belmond’s Paris–Monaco itinerary currently gives a 3pm departure and a 10.35am arrival the next day, 11 May. Those are indicative times, dependent on railway operating conditions. Belmond intends the new stop to become an annual addition to the schedule: it is a date to build a rail holiday around, rather than a nightly sleeper to slot into any Riviera trip.
