Luxury Holidays On Board Eastern & Oriental Express

In an age when speed is everything, a land voyage on board South East Asia's most glamorous train is the perfect opportunity to slow down, switch off and simply enjoy the journey. The beautifully appointed cabins feature cherrywood and elm burr-panelled walls, adorned with decorative marquetry and intricate inlays, whilst large picture windows maximise the wonderful views of the passing scenery. Located at the end of the train, the Observation Car - with its teakwood flooring, panelled walls, rattan furniture and potted plants - is the perfect place to enjoy cocktails amidst a Colonial ‘veranda’ ambience. One-third of the car is outdoors, making it perfect for photographic opportunities. Treat yourself to any journey and you'll find yourself intrigued and inspired, on the adventure of a lifetime.
