The Datai Langkawi has renewed its collaboration with Save Wild Tigers, The Eastern & Oriental Express, A Belmond Train, and Raffles Singapore for the 2026 edition of The Tiger Express.
The rail and hotel journey, taking place from 10-16 May 2026, provides guests with a unique adventure across Malaysia dedicated to raising awareness and important funds for the preservation of the Malayan tiger.
The collaboration forms part of The Datai Pledge, the resort’s community and conservation programme launched in 2020 under its Wildlife For The Future pillar, which is dedicated to safeguarding vulnerable species within the local ecosystem.
The seven-day journey begins with a night at the Raffles Singapore and a screening of Dead Talk, featuring British actor Ray Winstone.
Guests then board the Eastern & Orient Express for a two-night journey through Malaysia, including excursions in Taman Negara National Park, home to the elusive Malayan tiger.
The adventure continues in Penang where guests will tour historic landmarks and view a traditional batik display and the acclaimed Eye on the Tiger photographic exhibition.
Guests then journey onward to The Datai Langkawi for a three-night stay where the journey concludes with a gala dinner on the beach.
“The Tiger Express represents not just a luxury travel experience, but a key opportunity to raise awareness for tiger conservation at a critical time,” says Stephane Duvacher, general manager of The Datai Langkawi.
