Welcome onboard one of the World’s Greatest Rail Journeys! This is First Class on Asia’s Most Luxurious Sleeper Train!
Watch this video before booking Belmond’s “Eastern & Oriental Express” train out of Singapore and through Malaysia! On our journey through massive cities and ancient rainforests, we’ll spend four days and three nights on Asia’s most luxurious train!
Belmond’s “Eastern & Oriental Express” First Class Train should be at the top of your travel bucket list. In this video, we’ll leave Singapore at 3:00 on our first day and return four days and three nights later. Along the way, we’ll travel in a First Class train car in the Presidential Suite with every amenity you can imagine (and some First Class Luxuries to surprise you!).
Onboard the Presidential Suite experience, we’ll have our own dedicated Attendant to take care of our every need, a HUGE room with massively comfortable beds, and delicious, five star food.
Our room is one of two Presidential Suites on the train, right next to one of two premium, first class bar cars onboard, complete with snacks and other treats along our journey.
We even had the opportunity to get out and explore the 130 million year old rainforest in Taman Negara National Park.
You’ll see the sights, the food, and gain insight into what it’s like to travel on this incredible First Class Train: Belond’s “Eastern & Oriental Express.”

@nicko5945 Ай бұрын

Yeah, I always laugh when they say it. It’s generally like once a video and it’s always when they are doing something very fancy. I think their definition of fancy is royalty. I’ve never even heard of 75% of the food they eat in these excursions. They are a long way from cup of noodles and spam that a good chuck of us eat haha. Still doesn’t take away from the videos though and I’ll always enjoy them. It just gives me a chuckle whenever they talk about not being fancy.

Yea let’s not wax lyrically about Jeb. I love his videos but his travels are not the norm and are not what most of us can afford. A little bit of humble travel from time to time wouldn’t go astray. I’ve seen a few other reviewers that do the same have lost viewers over the last few years - specially as we seem to be entering a financially different period and perhaps a recession.

What's not to like about Afternoon Tea? Alternating bites of sweet and savory with a nice cup of tea (or coffee) to wash it down. I am pretty much American and not at all fancy, but Afternoon Tea is actually my favorite meal.

So my wife and I have been to Singapore and Malaysia several times, it is one of our favorite destinations in the world. And we’re actually in the process of retiring to M’asia within the next few years. And while I realize the conceit of this channel is planes and trains, I literally choked when you revealed the price for this trip. That is literally *two years* worth of rent at the condo we are looking to move into over there! All I can say is, I sincerely hope that after traveling to the literal antipodes from the US, that you guys stayed there for another week or two to experience the country as one should: great hotels at amazing rates, and some of the best food in the world at insane prices. I’m hard pressed to spend more than US $5-10 at a hawker center in My (maybe twice that in Sg), and they have always been some of the best meals on the planet. Hope you make more vids in SE Asia!
