Friendly and courteous service is the hallmark of a journey on the Eastern & Oriental Express, from the moment you are welcomed aboard. The air-conditioned, gleaming green and cream carriages evoke the great age of luxury train travel—a setting of opulence and fine craftsmanship.
 
You have been transported to an atmosphere reminiscent of a bygone colonial era, of smooth rattan chairs, cool Singapore Slings, fashionable linen suits and tea dances. The cuisine maintains the same high standards established by the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express in Europe. Magical sights of Southeast Asia unfold before you, as you weave through tropical jungle terrain, coconut and rubber plantations, ancient temples, flowing rivers, and verdant rice paddies. Relax in the comfortable surroundings of your elegant compartment, whose large windows offer excellent views of the ever-changing countryside.

Each morning a breakfast of freshly baked croissant, coffee or tea, juice and fruit is delivered to your compartment. In true colonial style you’ll be treated to an afternoon tea of Earl Grey tea and cakes. While you are at dinner, your steward will transform your compartment from daytime seating to a comfortable bedroom. At the end of your day relax and socialize in the Bar Car, while the piano plays softly in the background.
