We doubt Hercule Poirot would be invited (well, would you?) so the Festive Indonesia And Eastern & Oriental Express already has that over the European route.
I mean, yes you miss out on sharing carriages with Albert Finney, Lauren Bacall, Sean Connery and Ingrid Bergmann but your holiday isn’t disrupted.
And there’s zero risk of being stabbed multiple times in your drug-induced sleep like Ratchett (Richard Widmark).
And unlike the Orient Express you get to explore further than Istanbul, wondrous city of the world that it is.
So you can immerse yourself in Singapore and Malaysia.
Cruise it, train it
The ROL Cruise incorporating the Eastern & Oriental Express runs out of Singapore and is new for this year.
Travelling through Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi and Penang, you’ll mix on-board luxury with inspiring exploration off the train.
This magnificent trip includes snorkelling, island exploration and cultural tours.
