The Road to Mandalay
September 10 - 21, 2008
Escorted by Ellison Poe
Few places on earth remain untouched in their natural beauty and charm from one century to the next. The ancient land of Burma, is however, an exception to the rule, and on board the Road To Mandalay we’ll bring you the best of this fascinating, unspoilt country.
With the comfort and personality for which the Orient-Express is famous, the Road To Mandalay provides the most comfortable vantage point from which to absorb the surrounding serene beauty, taking in its golden-spired pagodas, ancient temples, sleepy riverside settlements and saffron-clad monks.
Ellison will take us on a magical journey sailing up the Irrawaddy River from Rangoon to Bagan and Mandalay before continuing much further north to seldom-visited Bhamo, near the Chinese border! Along with these “wow-factor” places, we’ll stop at numerous remote villages and temples rarely visited by westerners. Trip details here.

mosaics, breathtaking vistas, bright spices, festive cultures—and premier golf courses. As winter
settles in at home, indulge both your zeal for adventure and passion for golf in one unforgettable voyage.
Over the last ten years, top-notch courses have proliferated in this corner of the world because, in
addition to scenic landscapes and piquant cuisine, its balmy Mediterranean breezes and 300 annual days
of sunshine make it a year-round golfer’s and traveler’s paradise. Amid green foothills and picturesque
Andalusian villages, play on continental Europe’s preeminent courses, including Valderrama, which in
1997 became the only club outside of the U.S. and Great Britain to have hosted golf’s pinnacle event,
the Ryder Cup. In dreamlike Morocco, leave the crowds behind and be one of the few to experience such
pristine courses as the El Jadida Royal Golf Course, whose flowering dunes are backdropped by the Atlas
Mountains. Details here.
