Out of consideration for your fellow passengers, please turn off mobile phones whilst in the Pullman carriages.

Can you cater for special meal requirements such as vegetarian?
Yes. As long as we are notified at the time of booking, of any special dietary requirements, we will do our best to comply. We do however regret that we are unable to provide meals requiring strict religious observance in the preparation.

What do I need to wear on board the British Pullman?
Smart casual wear (not jeans) is the order of the day, such as a jacket and tie for men. For Royal Ascot more formal wear is customary and for outdoor events such as golf and Cowes, practical wear is recommended.

Orient-Express recommends that you have adequate travel insurance in the interests of you and your family. If you do not have your own insurance and are resident in the UK we will be pleased to arrange this for you.  Insurance is arranged with Travel and Personal Underwriters Limited.  Details are contained within the booking conditions.

Will I need to tip the staff?
The price you pay for a journey aboard the British Pullman is fully inclusive of all service charges.  However, if your steward, or any other member of staff serving you, have helped make your day particularly special then any gratuities you wish to give will be much appreciated.
