Hard to believe this kind of serenity is only an hour and a half from San Jose, Costa Rica. At El Silencio Lodge, mornings begin in cool mountain mist and days unfold among waterfalls, hiking, biking and whispering forests. Aspen Travel [email protected]

One legendary name, two trains—and two entirely different eras of glamour.

The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is the original fantasy: restored 1920s carriages, polished marquetry and the feeling that dinner requires both black tie and an alibi. Its Budapest-to-Paris journey delivers the golden age of rail in one unforgettable night.

La Dolce Vita Orient Express enters four decades later, dressed in the bold geometry, mirrored surfaces and rich colors of 1960s and ’70s Italy. Its four-night passage from Rome to Istanbul feels less Agatha Christie, more Fellini after dark.

One preserves the legend. The other gives it an Italian sequel.

I found her in the Adriatic, somewhere between Kotor and a second espresso.

The Ritz-Carlton built a yacht. Not a ship with a marble lobby bolted on. A yacht. Two hundred twenty-four suites, every one with a terrace, four hundred forty-eight guests total. Fewer people than a village square in Piran on a Tuesday.

There is no dress code. There are no dining times. There is no assigned table, no buffet, no casino, and nobody on a microphone at seven in the morning. You eat when you are hungry. You swim off the aft marina when the water looks right. You return to Frette linens and a door that opens onto the sea.

Residential, not cruise. A Ritz-Carlton that happens to float.

Ilma · Venice to Venice · 8 days · 15 to 22 September 2026

Venice. A day at sea. Dubrovnik. Kotor. Hvar. Zadar. Piran. Venice again, which by then feels like coming home.
