The Train

Embark on an unforgettable escape in Malaysia

All aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express, our luxury train in Malaysia and a travelling memoir of a beguiling age. The signature cream and green exterior gives way to polished wood-panelled corridors and silken furnishings with a hint of multiple Asian designs. Once inside, take your seat at the Bar Car where a jazz-club ambience reigns with music lingering in the air, while stewards serve champagne and signature cocktails. Your destination? A world of inspiring opulence.

History

A LIVING LEGEND

A story 30 years in the making, the Eastern & Oriental Express has been narrating adventures since its inaugural journey from Bangkok to Singapore in 1993. After American businessman James B Sherwood purchased the luxury train carriages in Japan, these were remodelled in Singapore with elegance, echoing the spirit of ancient Indochina.

Today, the sister of the celebrated Venice Simplon-Orient Express, A Belmond Train, takes you on a grand journey in Southeast Asia to capture the heart of Malaysia.

The Dining Car

Sit down in one of our two dining cars for exquisite gastronomy in perfect company. In the Eastern & Oriental Express, Adisorn and Malaya reflect the arts and culture of Asia in their design — dine within elm panels and light wood design inlays, or rosewood with decorative lacquered panels hand painted with delicate flowers.

White-clothed two-seater tables line the Adisorn dining car, with chairs in jade green silk brocade and exotic pink flowers.

The Observation Car

Head to the Observation Car to enjoy the breeze and the ever-changing views. Located at the rear of the Eastern & Oriental Express, it’s the perfect place to sit back and relax under the moonlit sky. Panelled walls and teak floors evoke a bygone era, giving the Observation Car a certain spirit of grandeur.

Gather Around

The Piano Bar
