INTRODUCTION
Friendly and courteous service is
the hallmark of a journey on the Eastern
& Oriental Express, from the moment you
are welcomed aboard. A quarter of a mile
in length, the air-conditioned gleaming
green and cream carriages evoke the
great age of luxury train travel and are
a world of opulence and fine
craftsmanship.
Time aboard the train is full of
diversions. In the Dining Cars, waiters
present gourmet Asian and European
dishes and fine wines in gleaming
crystal and silverware. The Bar Car with
its resident pianist and variety of
local entertainment provides a special
opportunity to meet fellow travellers.
