Earlier this year, Belmond relaunched its Eastern & Oriental Express, a luxury cruise train that will transport you through Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Are you ready to embark on the journey of a lifetime from Singapore aboard the luxurious Eastern & Oriental Express? 🌴✨
Here’s a sample itinerary –
Day 1: Singapore – Kuala Lumpur First, board the stunning green and gold train at Woodlands Station and settle into your cabin, adorned with cherrywood, Thai silks, and Malaysian embroidery. Enjoy the afternoon tea served as you glide through Malaysia’s lush landscapes. Dress up for a delightful evening with cocktails in the Piano Bar, followed by a gourmet Asian fusion dinner and live jazz.
Day 2: Kuala Lumpur – Langkawi Wake up to breakfast in your cabin as you pass Malaysia’s serene rice paddies and villages. After lunch, cruise to Langkawi’s Pulau Payar Marine Park, a haven for vibrant marine life where you’ll be on a secluded island with yoga, massages, snorkeling, and more. End the day with a magical cruise back to the train.
Day 3: Butterworth – Penang Arrive in Penang and choose your adventure: a guided art tour in George Town, a cooking class on Penang Hill, or a trishaw ride through the city’s enchanting streets. Reboard the train for lunch, then explore Ipoh’s mix of old-world charm and street art. Celebrate the final evening with cuisine and entertainment.
Day 4: Johor – Singapore Enjoy breakfast as you travel through Johor’s stunning beaches and rainforests. Cross the strait back to Singapore.
The Dior Spa
Starting this week, they’ll take slow travel and wellness to new heights. And this is so cool!
The new Dior Spa aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express will offer relaxing treatments that will transform your luxury rail journey.
This serenity aboard the luxurious Dior Spa Eastern & Oriental Express is in one of the train’s 16 carriages. The oasis features two exquisite treatment cabins adorned with the iconic Toile de Jouy motif — Christian Dior’s favorite emblem — and crafted with stunning tropical wood materials, reflecting the unmatched beauty of Southeast Asia.
Here’s a sampling of the spa offerings on this train —
CONSTELLATION
A mix of massage techniques relieves tension from the body.
D-TISSUE MASSAGE
This treatment releases muscular pain through deep, slow, and soothing movements—perfect for finishing a day of exploring.
KOBI-DIOR FACIAL TREATMENT
Rooted in the ancient Japanese Kobido massage tradition, the Kobi-Dior anti-aging massage rejuvenates the skin through precise, gentle movements.
LE SOIN DE MINUIT
This session incorporates meditative exercises to promote profound sleep and optimize skin regeneration.
D-JUNGLE
A perfectly rhythmic, deep muscle massage from head to toe, using stretching techniques and targeting specific energy points.
The one that appeals to me most is Le Soin de Minuit; it means “midnight treatment.”
Fares begin at around $3200.00. Check out the official Belmond brochure and reach out to let us plan your trip!
