I. Train Positioning: A Moving “Five-Star Resort Hotel”
The Splendid Orient Express is not a “train” in the traditional sense, but a “moving high-end vacation space.” The entire train is recommended to have 18 carriages, with passenger capacity strictly controlled at 66 people, and the ratio of attendants to tourists close to 1:1.2, striving for meticulous service. Its core positioning is a deep travel mode of “sightseeing by day, traveling by night”—deep exploration at destinations during the day, and traveling by special train to the next stop at night, saving the fatigue of long-distance drives, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists and family groups seeking comfort and quality.
The train adopts a “compartment system including designated items within the itinerary,” with all guest rooms being luxury double rooms, equipped with dry-wet separated bathrooms, panoramic large windows, reception sofas, and small refrigerators, with privacy and comfort far exceeding ordinary tourist trains. Public areas include restaurants, bars, SPA massage rooms, chess and card rooms, and performance areas, with functional richness comparable to high-end cruise ships, truly a “premium configuration for land cruising.”
