See our page on Newport Jets Private Jet Charter London
For a truly unique and luxury private jet charter excursion to and from London starting this month, London’s National Gallery has teamed up with the luxury Orient Express travel company to offer – ‘The Art of Travel’ – that combines luxury travel and fine art.
Luxury travelers will love these new luxury art/train tours featuring more than a dozen new itineraries launching this spring as they experience a tour with some of the world’s top art and the places that inspired them. Tours range from a three-day/two-night journey between London and Bath to a seven-day/six-night tour between London and Venice. Seven examine the classic works and figures of the Impressionist movement; four focus on the great works of Italian artists including Canaletto, Bellini, Titian, and Veronese; and two study the collections of the newly reopened Holburne Museum in Bath.
The tours begin at the National Gallery, where a specialist introduces a selection of masterpieces that will later be matched with the places and landmarks depicted within them. For instance, a viewing of Monets in London is followed by a trip to the artist’s home at Giverny; an immersion into the work of Canaletto is followed by roaming the very same canals and piazzas of Venice. Guests travel through art history in style aboard both the iconic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and British Pullman, accompanied by the National Gallery specialist.
Impressions of Paris is a five-day/four-night tour through the life of Monet, taking guests from the country’s capital of Paris to the artist’s country home in Giverny.

• Depart for Paris the following morning aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Two of the train’s art deco carriages were already in glamorous service when Claude Monet was producing his final masterpieces.
• Visit the artist’s home at Giverny and the old churchyard in the Normandy village where he is buried.
