A Grand Journey on the
Eastern & Oriental Express
Emerald Horizons: A Timeless Passage Through Southeast Asia
Aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express by Belmond, the golden age of rail travel is reborn amid the lush landscapes of Malaysia. Gleaming wood-panelled corridors, embroidered silks and Art Deco accents create an atmosphere of quiet grandeur, where each cabin becomes a private sanctuary framed by ever-changing jungle vistas. In the elegant dining cars, refined cuisine inspired by Southeast Asia’s vibrant flavours is served with impeccable care, while evenings unfold to the rhythm of live music in the Piano Bar and cocktails beneath the stars in the open-air Observation Car.
As the train glides past emerald rice fields, mist-draped mountains and historic towns, the journey extends beyond the rails. Curated excursions reveal the cultural treasures of Penang and the ancient rainforest of Taman Negara, inviting deeper connection with the region’s heritage and natural beauty. Each moment — whether on board in polished splendour or ashore in vibrant surroundings — becomes part of a seamless tapestry of discovery, romance and timeless elegance.
The Wild Heart of Malaysia by Train
Step aboard the iconic Eastern & Oriental Express at Singapore’s Woodlands Station and begin a captivating four-day journey into the heart of Malaysia. As the elegant green-and-cream carriages glide north toward Gemas, settle into your refined cabin and watch lush tropical landscapes unfold. After afternoon tea accompanied by ever-changing views, the evening brings fine dining and lively onboard entertainment. The adventure deepens on Day Two as the train travels along the legendary Jungle Railway toward Merapoh, gateway to Taman Negara National Park—one of the world’s oldest rainforests. Here, guests may choose from immersive experiences, from conservation walks and wildlife-focused explorations to cave discoveries by e-bike or restorative wellness sessions in the forest, before returning onboard for a leisurely afternoon and elegant dinner.
The journey continues along Malaysia’s west coast toward Penang, where a curated selection of cultural excursions awaits. Explore George Town’s vibrant streets by Vespa, uncover the secrets of Peranakan cuisine in a hands-on cooking experience, or wander independently through the historic quarter by traditional trishaw. Back on board at Butterworth, enjoy a relaxed afternoon—perhaps with a visit to the Dior Spa—before a final convivial evening of exceptional cuisine and entertainment. On the final morning, linger over breakfast as the train crosses Johor and returns to Singapore, concluding a richly layered journey that blends untamed nature, cultural discovery, and timeless rail elegance.
