The Eastern and Oriental Express offers luxury travel through some of the world's most exotic landscapes. The train was built in Japan in 1972 as the sister to Europe's legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express with air-conditioned, en-suite cabins showcasing the passing scenery though large picture windows. A dedicated cabin steward takes care of your every need 24 hours a day. During the day, your cabin is a private lounge complete with banquette-style sofa. At night, it converts into a plush bedroom. Discover the highlights of the region from the comfort of your cabin and in the company of a guide during the scheduled daily outings.
