Overnight train

Eastern & Oriental Express

Belmond's Southeast Asian sleeper train, on three-night journeys from Singapore through Malaysia.

The Eastern & Oriental Express returned to the rails in 2024, with restyled carriages and new journeys through Malaysia. Journeys run for three nights, starting and ending at Woodlands station in Singapore. Essence of Malaysia runs from November to February and includes Kuala Lumpur, Penang and a boat trip to Langkawi. Wild Malaysia runs from March to October and visits Taman Negara National Park.

December brings festive journeys for Christmas and New Year. Days combine time on board with guided visits, from heritage towns to rainforest. Dining on board celebrates the flavours of the region. For travellers based in Singapore, it offers a classic sleeper journey without a long-haul flight.
