There are few more romantic notions than a journey on the wonderfully luxurious Eastern & Oriental Express - one of the world's most iconic rail journeys. Your time on board will resurrect the golden era of rail, as you travel through the Malay Peninsula to Thailand. For the complete experience, retreat to your cabin in the late afternoon & re-emerge in evening dress & boa, black tie for the gents. Stroll through to the open air observation deck as the sun turns orange in the distance before taking your table in the dining car, & later perhaps sip a Shanghai Express or brandy as the pianist plays in the nostalgic bar car.
