La Dolce Vita Orient Express is inviting golf enthusiasts to embark on exclusive journeys across Italy, combining the country's prestigious golf courses with the elegance of rail travel. The itineraries, Northern Greens and Italian Swing, offer a unique blend of world-class golf, cultural immersion, and culinary delights.
The Northern Greens itinerary, a four-day, three-night journey, departs from Rome and traverses Northern and Central Italy's renowned golfing landscapes. Golfers will have the opportunity to play at Royal Park I Roveri, Franciacorta Golf Club, and The Club at Castiglion del Bosco, experiencing Italy's diverse scenery along the way.
Meanwhile, the Italian Swing itinerary explores the southern regions, featuring rounds at San Domenico Golf Club in Apulia, The Club at Castiglion del Bosco in Tuscany, and Antognolla Golf. This journey is enriched with curated experiences for non-golfing guests, including wellness rituals and cultural encounters.
Both itineraries include the chance to play at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, the host of the 2023 Ryder Cup, offering a taste of one of Europe's iconic championship courses. On board, the train's design, crafted by Milan-based Dimorestudio, reflects Italy's golden age of design, whilst Michelin-starred chef Heinz Beck curates the culinary experience.
The next departure for the Northern Greens itinerary is scheduled for 29 September 2026. Bookings can be made on the Orient Express website, inviting guests to indulge in the art of slow travel and the rich tapestry of Italian culture
