...No other image so convincingly evokes the “Golden Age”
of the 1930’s as the Orient Express on its sedate, unruffled
excursion across Europe to the shores of the Bosphorus.
Romance filled the air – but so did mystery and intrigue.

It was the perfect setting for the likes of
Agatha Christie, Graham Greene and Alfred Hitchcock.
A place where travelers meeting by accident
responded like butterflies and tried desperately
to squeeze a lifetime into 24 hours.
