Belmond trains are synonymous with slow travel and timeless luxury, whether you’re enjoying fine-dining from Michelin-starred chefs, gazing out at majestic landscapes, or enjoying a late-night cocktail or two set to the sounds of a live band.
Decadence is a key part of the journey, but so is unplugging from the cares of the world. And what better way to truly relax than in one of our spa carriages, where guests can enjoy a range of world class beauty and wellness treatments, while being lulled by the gentle rhythm of the rails.
Onboard the Eastern & Oriental Express, a unique story unfolds – one of beauty and tranquillity.

Book it before returning to your private cabin for a peaceful night of dreams under the stars of Malaysia.
The Maison Dior captures the unique essence of each space it occupies, and the Royal Scotsman is no exception.
