The Belmond-owned suite spans an entire carriage and offers high-end features including a private cabin steward, in-suite dining, and a spacious bathroom with a soaking tub and stained-glass window.

Portman, dressed in an elegant all-black outfit, called the experience “unforgettable” while showcasing parts of the lavish interior.

She shared footage of a library space that doubles as an extra bedroom, along with scenic views of the train passing through a turquoise coastal landscape.

Relaxation and onboard experiences

During the journey, Portman enjoyed a relaxed onboard experience, including playing Scrabble and attending live music performances in the train’s dining cars.

The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is known for its historic luxury routes across Europe, including journeys between London and Venice.

Although she did not confirm her exact destination, the actress is believed to have boarded the train closer to her residence in Paris.

The actress is now expecting her third child with partner Tanguy Destable and is reportedly enjoying a settled life in Paris.
