THE ROYAL ORIENT EXPRESS

ROYAL ORIENT

Take a journey back in time, to the fairy tale world of chivalrous Princes and beauteous Princesses. An era of unimaginable splendour, a period of unmatched opulence. Rediscover the glittering, golden age through the last of the great extravaganzas - The Royal Orient, a spectacular concept in transport; an aesthetic marvel of modern times. A throwback to the bygone days. Capture the essence of the realm of the Maharajas. An opportunity to experience its princely grandeur; a possibility of redefining the word pleasure. Thirteen indescribably wondrous, beautiful, gold embossed saloon cars recreate the resplendent living of times of yore.

A wonder on wheels that carries you through the fascinating world that is India - a civilization that has blended the past and the present as none has. A dreamscape where the dividing line between reality and fantasy gets blurred as you proceed, and each day brings forth experiences beyond your wildest expectations.

An epic journey reminiscent of a majestic lifestyle. Discover a whole new world as you meander down the centuries, on this unparalled time machine. View the religion, culture and architecture of a glorious past from a unique perspective, and revel in the magnificence and abundance of ancient India. Sit back and enjoy the journey of a lifetime, as The Royal Orient weaves its way through temples and shrines, resorts and beaches, forests and sancturies.

Live out your fantasies in the fashion of early royal passengers on bridal journeys, state visits and grand hunting parties. Sink into pink retreats with hot and cold running water, showers and soft channel music. Restaurant cars with exquisite Indian and continental cuisines. A luxurious lounge, a library, television and video entertainment. Most of the travel is done by night; daytime is reserved for sightseeing and shopping. The fun comes up when the sun goes down. Unwind at the " Watering Hole," a bar well stocked with the choicest liquors. Have a drink with a friend and get into high spirits, as high spirits get into you! And when you think you've had enough for the day (an unlikely possibility, but neverthless), retire to the privacy of your chambers, and sleep with the memories of an era that was, and a world that time forgot.
