EASTERN & ORIENTAL EXPRESS BELMOND

A LIVING LEGEND

Embark on a 3-night stay aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express and choose one of the iconic itineraries from Singapore, via Kuala Lumpur, into the depths of northern Malaysia's jungle. As soon as you step on board, you are enveloped in an exotic and refined atmosphere, featuring elegantly designed spaces where every detail is imbued with timeless poetry. The green, beige and gold carriages conceal splendid woodwork adorned with the finest Malaysian silks and embroidery. The landscapes glide past your eyes, alternating between shimmering rice paddies, emerald jungles and majestic mountains, offering a breathtaking spectacle at every turn. For lunch or dinner, take your seat in one of the two restaurant carriages, each decorated with delicate floral motifs and fine wood panelking, and discover the modern, creative cuisine of Michelin-starred chef André Chiang. The stops invite you to explore authentic villages, lively markets as well as major historical sites, enriching your adventure with memorable experiences. Back on board the train, treat yourself to a moment of relaxation at the brand-new DIOR Spa, which occupies one of the train's 16 carriages.

THE EXTRAORDINARY

The famous brand DIOR boarded the Eastern & Oriental Express in July 2024. A true sanctuary of tranquillity, the sumptuous Spa occupies one of the train's 16 carriages. On board, two treatment cabins await you, adorned with the famous Toile de Jouy, Christian Dior's favourite emblem, and handmade tropical wood materials, a true reflection of the incomparable beauty of South-East Asia.
