Eastern & Oriental Express: A 3-Night Luxury Journey from Singapore

Dining Experience: A Symphony of Flavors

The Eastern & Oriental Express features three unique restaurant cars, with two available on every journey. Each meal is a meticulously planned affair, typically offered in two sittings: Lunch at 12:00 or 14:00, and Dinner at 18:00 or 21:00. You are welcome to inquire about your preferred dining time upon boarding.

All gourmet meals on board are included in your fare, while additional premium beverages are available for purchase.

To ensure a diverse experience, you will be assigned a different table for each meal. This allows you to admire the unique decor of each carriage, enjoy ever-changing window views, and perhaps even meet fellow travelers, turning every meal into a delightful social occasion.

Dress Code: Please note that formal attire is required in the restaurant cars to maintain the elegant atmosphere of the journey.

Step into the Observation Lounge and Saloon, a refined space designed for relaxation and contemplation. Here, guests are invited to enjoy complimentary tea, coffee, and light refreshments throughout the day. This elegant carriage also houses our curated library and an exclusive boutique featuring Eastern & Oriental Express mementos.

The lounge seamlessly connects to the Observation Car, a breathtaking semi-outdoor deck. It is the perfect vantage point to capture stunning photographs or simply breathe in the tropical breeze as the landscape unfolds.

For ultimate relaxation, we offer a 45-minute revitalizing foot massage within the lounge. As sessions are limited, we kindly recommend making a prior reservation to secure your moment of tranquility.

Located at the center of the train, the Bar Car serves as the vibrant social hub of your journey. Immerse yourself in the nostalgic ambiance of the rails while enjoying live musical performances, curated light bites, and signature cocktails.

For those seeking a more intimate setting, private booths are also available, offering a secluded space to converse and unwind. Whether it is a pre-dinner aperitif or a late-night toast, the Bar Car is where stories are shared and memories are made.

Situated at the very end of the train, the Observation Car offers an unparalleled connection to the landscape. This unique space features its own private bar and a signature semi-outdoor deck, allowing you to breathe in the scents and sounds of the tropical countryside.
