🚂 I. Train positioning:Redefining “high-end tourist trains”
The Splendid Orient Express is not an ordinary sightseeing train, but a “mobile five-star traveling palace” created specifically for travelers pursuing “in-depth experience + private service.” Its core positioning can be summarized in three key words:
Low density:The whole train recommends 66 seats, with a crew-to-tourist ratio close to 1:1, far exceeding ordinary special trains in service density;
Includes designated project rooms within the itinerary:All guest rooms are luxury twin rooms with bathrooms, completely departing from the “large shared berth” model of traditional special trains;
Tour by day, travel by night:Deep sightseeing at destinations during the day, with the train running at night, saving the fatigue of long-distance road travel.
According to a recent 2027 industry report, among domestic high-end tourist trains, fewer than 10% of train types are equipped with dry-wet separated bathrooms, while the Splendid Orient Express covers this configuration throughout the train, becoming its differentiated competitive advantage.
