Hotel chain Accor is planning a floating Orient Express. A ticket is said to cost up to $20,000 per trip.
The first ship called “Orient Express Silenseas’ will have 54 suites. The company also wants to get the legendary Orient Express trains back on the track. 17 of the train's original carriages are to be restored and put on the Paris-Istanbul route. Experts expect the market for luxury cruises to grow massively in the coming years.
