Eastern & Oriental Express – Wild Malaysia

Luxury Wild Malaysia rail journey on the Eastern & Oriental Express

Railbookers runs this 7-day, 6-night Wild Malaysia journey aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express, described as a luxury rail vacation built around 5-star service and what the operator calls unadulterated opulence. The trip opens with a two-night stay in Singapore before travellers board the train for the rail portion of the journey. Highlights named in the description include a visit to Taman Negara National Park, home to Malayan Tigers, and a tour of the Old Quarter in Georgetown, Penang, a historic old town. Evenings are spent socializing with fellow travellers aboard the train. The description is cut off before detailing every stop, so the exact accommodation for the nights beyond Singapore is not confirmed here. This is sold as an independent rail package rather than a fully escorted tour, and it suits travellers who want a well-known luxury train experience combined with nature and history excursions in Malaysia.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day itinerary for this package, and the available description is cut off mid-sentence while describing the evenings onboard, so the full range of onboard activities is not confirmed here.
  • The description does not say whether nights beyond the two-night Singapore stay are spent in onboard cabins or additional hotels, so confirm the exact accommodation arrangement before booking.
