Orient Express Luxury Train Journey's

The Orient-Express experience has always been something more than a mere train journey. Ever since 1883, when the Orient-Express made its first journey from Paris to Istanbul, it has captured the imagination of the world. Throughout, the train has been the temporary home of aristocrats, royalty, spies, film stars and writers - as well as, of course a certain fictional Belgian detective.

Today, the glamour lives on, and, in an age that too often reduces travel to speed and convenience, the experience is more alluring than ever. The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express now visits some of Europe’s most evocative destinations: Paris, Rome, Venice, Vienna, Budapest. Prague and Istanbul. The sheer romance of the on-board experience is entirely undiminished. Enjoy the uncompromising luxury of the authentic period carriages, and the finest quality of service, amid some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe.

Following the success of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, the Eastern & Oriental Express made history as the first ever train to transport passengers directly from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok and is now the ultimate centrepiece of a visit to the Far East. A subtle balance of Eastern culture and cuisine and Western comforts means that you can enjoy the best of everything.
