Try this place http://www.veniceby.com/ always had good results.
Get a water taxi back to the airport (about 100 euros) well worth it, and wear a jumper.
Just flying back with Mrs scooterscot from mauritius, going business class, well worth it, jumping the q'a always gives me a cheap thrill

Back to the original point. I'm sure I saw somewhere that you can get 30-35% off the OE by using Nectar points.
I went on it up to the Ryder Cup a few years ago and it was alright. I wouldn't particularly rush to get on it again. The wife will love it though.

What about the Tram Car Restaurant in Melbourne? Fab food and cheaper and nicer than Venice.

The Mrs will love it. Yes its on the pricy side, bit it really gets you in the mood for a great holiday. Plus I would say it has to be on the list of things to do in a lifetime.
ISTM that all you are paying for is a lot of pampering. If I wanted to spend 2000 notes on the pampering, I'd chose somewhere a damned sight more comfortable than a train.

For scenery I'd look into the Canadian thing, I think there is a cross rockies touristy train line. I roughed it around the States on a cheapo train pass and large chunks of it are a bit flat and uninspiring especially across the top end of the country, atleast on the line I travelled on anyway. As you cross the border into Canada the change in scenery can be quite dramatic.
