A Story 25 Years In The MakingThe Eastern & Oriental Express’ inaugural journey was in September 1993, but the spirit of the train dates back much further. The carriages of the train were built in Japan and remodelled in Singapore with an elegant colonial aesthetic, echoing the heart and soul of classic Indochina. A voyage aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express is therefore a portal to the past and to magical moments across South East Asia. |  |
