Agent Tips

  • Opt for the Presidential Suite for free-flowing champagne, a complimentary 45-minute treatment at the Dior Spa, and caviar, a fruit basket, and flowers upon boarding.

Accommodations

Delicate fabrics and vintage touches.

Signature cream and green exteriors give way to polished wood-paneled corridors and silken furnishings with a hint of multiple Asian designs. Each of the exquisite cabins features delicate fabrics and vintage touches almost as mesmerizing as the landscapes passing by. The Pullman Cabins are flooded with light via two large windows, with plush seating by day and upper and lower berths by night. Adorned with unique designs, the State Cabins offer a bit more space, with two single beds at floor level. The Presidential Suite is the crown jewel of the train, with supreme space, a large bathroom with enhanced amenities, and a plush seating area.
Spa

Asian-inspired beauty rituals on wheels.

The first Dior Spa in Southeast Asia, this wellness hideaway on wheels offers rejuvenating treatments to transform your luxury rail journey. On board, two treatment cabins await, dressed in Dior’s iconic Toile de Jouy motif and accented with hand-crafted tropical woods that capture the spirit of Southeast Asia. The soothing palette of soft greens, warm beiges, and sun-kissed browns mirrors the landscapes unfolding just beyond the window. Enjoy Asian-inspired beauty rituals, from the anti-aging Kobi-Dior facial treatment rooted in the ancient Japanese Kobido massage tradition to the soothing D-Tissue massage.
Restaurant

Celebrating the diversity of Malaysian flavors.

Each meal aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express is a reminder of the intentionality Belmond infuses in their dining program. Helmed by renowned Chef André Chiang and impressively crafted in the kitchen car, each dish from the sumptuous menu celebrates the diversity of Malaysian flavors inspired by the region’s lush green tea plantations and the deep hues of the passing landscapes.
Bar

Soak up the jazz-club ambiance.
