Eastern & Oriental Express, A Belmond Train:
Magic Malesia

The magic of the journey continues on the second day, when you’ll wake to breathtaking views of the jungle unfolding outside your cabin window. After a revitalizing breakfast, you’ll disembark at Merapoh Station for an extraordinary experience. Eastern & Oriental Express is committed to environmental conservation and, in partnership with Save Wild Tigers, is committed to preserving the Malayan tiger, the national animal and the train’s emblem. In Taman Negara National Park, you’ll meet the local villagers and organizations working tirelessly to protect this magnificent feline and its habitat. Taman Negara, one of the world’s oldest tropical rainforests, will enchant you with its lush vegetation, majestic rivers, and diverse wildlife.

The third day will take you to the island of Penang, where you can immerse yourself in Malaysia’s rich culture. You can explore the old district of Georgetown, admiring centuries-old temples, visiting contemporary art studios, and watching puppet shows. Foodies will delight in Peranakan specialties, immersing themselves in the local culinary art and acquiring the skills needed to prepare delicious dishes. Those who prefer independence will have the opportunity to explore charming Georgetown aboard a rickshaw, driven by an expert driver. The train journey will conclude in Butterworth, but not before treating you to a convivial evening of sublime cuisine and extraordinary entertainment.

Breakfast on day four will be served as the sun begins to illuminate Johor’s lush rainforest. Shortly thereafter, the train will cross the strait to take you back to Singapore, the city of wonders, taking with you the unforgettable memories of a magical journey.
