To guarantee your RSVP and secure an exclusive place at the ORIENT EXPRESS LA MINERVA Banquet and the DJ AWARDS launch, a mandatory non-refundable deposit of £250 per person is required. This payment serves as your formal confirmation for the Rome festivities and is immediately committed to private venue buyouts and Michelin-starred catering. Please note that the rail journey and Venice finale require a separate commitment: those choosing to board the LA DOLCE VITA ORIENT EXPRESS and attend the ORIENT EXPRESS VENEZIA party must pay an additional, non-refundable deposit of £1,000 per head. By completing these transactions, you acknowledge that all deposits are final, non-refundable, and non-transferable, as they secure strictly limited places on the train and within our private event spaces.
