One of the most iconic Asian train journeys, the Eastern & Oriental Express is a tale of 30 years in the making since she first dazzled guests in 1993.

The luxury train carriages were purchased in Japan by American entrepreneur James B Sherwood and remodelled, taking cues from our sister train the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express to capture the ageless elegance of the region.
