Opulence, Innovation, and Intrigue: the history of the Orient Express
Speaker: Stephen Goss
The Orient Express: Europe’s legendary luxury train whose very name evokes a world of glamour, espionage, and timeless intrigue. Conceived in 1883 by a Belgian engineer, this celebrated service quickly became the preferred route for Europe’s elite, transporting royalty, diplomats, adventurers, and spies across the continent. This talk is an enthralling journey into the glamorous yet shadowy history of a train that defined an era
