Recalling her experience from 2019, Walker told BI, "The overall experience was just five stars."

The train, which is operated by the luxury travel company Belmond, this week welcomed its first set of passengers since it stopped running as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The luxury train has been operating in Southeast Asia since 1993, when it first began shuttling travelers between Singapore and Bangkok. Now Thailand is out, replaced with two new journeys, which start and end in Singapore and explore different sides of Malaysia. The new routes are seasonal, with the "Essence of Malaysia" running from November to February, and "Wild Malaysia" from March to October. Prices start from £3,530 ($4,430) per person for a one-night trip in a historic cabin, according to its website.
