The Orient Express was formerly operated by the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits, or the International Sleeping Car Company. The company itself was founded by Belgian engineer Georges Nagelmackers, who was inspired by the American Pullman night trains he encountered during his trip to the Americas. As a result, he imagined traveling in Europe to be a luxurious and comfortable affair during a time when travel was dangerous and unpredictable.
The Orient Express Trains that many people are aware of today made its first journey on October 4th, 1883.
Since 1883, the Orient Express—and even its predecessor—enjoyed a reputation as a world-class luxury train that could take people to different parts of the world. Throughout its tenure, this luxury train line was enjoyed by numerous celebrities, government officials, and wealthy aristocrats. The train was designed with style in mind, including decor and intricate glassware by French artisans.
