THE
ROYAL ORIENT
The Royal Orient is one of the few extravaganzas left of an epoch
of grandeur. Enjoy yourself in the luxury of this fascinating
train, a spectacular concept in transport, an aesthetic marvel
of modern times.
Thirteen indescribably wondrous, gold embossed saloon cars recreate
the resplendent living of the times of Yore. The luxurious lounge,
centrally air-conditioning, library, television and video entertainment,
running hot and cold water and showers, soft channel music, the
watering hole, the well stocked bar, restaurant cars with delicious
Indian and continental cuisine and friendly attendants, all assure
you that your epic voyage is as fantastic as the royal orient
itself
