To continue the celebrations of its 250th anniversary, which took place in 2022, Veuve Clicquot is offering, from April 22, three unforgettable experiences at exceptional locations on the planet with the Eastern & Oriental Express trains (Southeast Asia), the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express (Europe), the Hiram Bingham and the Andean Explorer, all owned by the Belmond Group. We spoke to Mrs. Carole Bild\u00e9, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer at Veuve Clicquot to find out more. Find out more with us about the Veuve Clicquot Solaire Journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To persuade you to book a journey, we ask a few questions about the Veuve Clicquot Voyage Solaire to Mrs. Carole Bild\u00e9, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer at Veuve Clicquot.<\/p>\n\n\n

Why these different routes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Solaire Journeys will go from East to West, to follow the route of the Sun. We worked hand in hand with Belmond<\/a> (EDITOR\u2019S NOTE. Belmond is owned by the LVMH group [Louis Vuitton Mo\u00ebt Hennessy] since 2019, as is Veuve Clicquot, since the mid-80s) to design the most exclusive experiences onboard the trains with a requirement: offer unique and joyful experiences under the sun. For this reason, we chose to start the first journey in Asia, onboard the Eastern & Oriental Express. Then, we will go eastbound with the second journey early July from Vienna to Reims onboard the iconic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. The west side of the world (Peru) will be our final destination in October onboard the Hiram Bingham and the Andean Explorer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How will the experiences differ from one trip to another for passengers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each Solaire Journey will be unique to offer a \u201conce in a lifetime\u201d experience to the passengers. In Asia, the journey will start at the spectacular C\u00c9 LA VI rooftop and will follow with 3 days onboard the Eastern & Oriental Express, travelling through the wonders of Malaysia with the fantastic cuisine of Chef Andr\u00e9 Chiang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Europe, we will welcome our guests at the Liechtenstein Palace for a Gala Dinner and continue together onboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express to arrive in Reims, Veuve Clicquot\u2019s homeland. Jean Imbert (VSOE Chef attending the journey) will be joined in Reims by Mory Sacko, starred Chef for a 4-hand lunch in the Cray\u00e8res, Gallo-Roman chalk cellars\u2014a UNESCO heritage site in Reims. Finally, the third journey will happen in Peru in October from Machu Picchu, the Temple of the Sun, and through the beautiful Peruvian landscapes including Lake Titicaca onboard the Hiram Bingham and the Andean Explorer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, of course, there will be common yellow threads in the 3 journeys:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
