140 years ago, Georges Nagelmackers turned his dream into reality by launching the first luxury Orient Express trains. Today, the legend continues with the unveiling of the future Orient Express train.

Completely re-imagined, the old historic carriages, disappeared, forgotten, and then found again, are back in service. Reimagined by Maxime d'Angeac and the finest artisans in France, the first cars will be available for public exploration in 2024, with a formal launch in 2025.

“We are proud, today, to reveal the first images of the future Orient Express train. A story inspired by a dream, a timeless train, the object of all fantasies and which becomes a reality. Maxime d’Angeac’s design awakens the myth with the revelation of its luxury, modernity, and French elegance. Tomorrow, the Orient Express will shine again, proud of its 140 years of history and looking to the future. The legend continues.” - Sébastien Bazin, Chairmain & CEO, Accor
