G – History
Online (On-demand: view on your own schedule)
Since 1883, the name Orient Express has been synonymous with luxury travel, romance and intrigue. In the postwar years as the train became outmoded, deteriorated, and finally disappeared, its global aura grew via mystery novels and all-star movies. Since 1982, a restored train has continued to offer passage on board historic carriages. Now the Orient Express brand is being reborn, reimagined and maximized, offering a new generation of travelers experiential travel products of the highest quality. This is a prerecorded version of G317 originally taught in summer 2023. View this class on your own schedule. Viewing link is emailed to participants prior to the semester start.
