Train interiors follow a design concept from Dimorestudio, drawing inspiration from the 1960s and ‘70s Italian aesthetic. The train boasts 12 carriages with 12 deluxe cabins, 18 suites and the La Dolce Vita suite, accommodating no more than 62 passengers in total.

Three-Michelin-starred Chef Heinz Beck oversees the culinary program, ensuring guests experience curated menus highlighting regional cuisine.
