Orient Express deals out there?

Does anyone know where I can find the best price for a Orient Express trip from Chester? I can't find anything cheaper than £380 for my parents 40th anniversary.

any advice?

thanks

If you have some Tesco vouchers floating about you could exchange them.

Thanks for this tip, sadly I exchanged all my Tesco vouchers just before they reduced their value.

If your exchanged vouchers are S- vouchers, you might be able to use them on this as this is not Buy-in-Full.

Unlucky 'P' as I exchanged for cineworld tickets, £60 worth (exchanged to £240 vouchers)
But thanks for pointing out.

Please anyone with discount code or know of a way to get Orient Express tickets cheaper than the full asking price?

If you (or your parents) are, or have been, civil servants, you could join the CSMA and get a 10% discount. This also applies to jobs related to the civil service and there is an eligibility list on their website. Have a look at www.csmaclub.co.uk/orientexpress, you never know, maybe you or a relative may qualify. The discount code by the way is ACS1

thanks julie i didnt know about this, x its £15 per year though to join, would you say the savings are worth this as tend to getpretty good prices on the internet with things anyway.x

Well you do get a nice interesting monthly magazine for your £15, as well as the various discounts. My husband reckons he gets a good deal on his car insurance through them, though as you say you can usually get similar deals on the internet. I must admit I never think to check out their discounts myself, as I go straight to the internet. I just mentioned it in this case as someone was looking for a discount on the Orient Express and nothing else seemed to be available.

Unfortunately you don't seem to be able to check the Orient Express prices on the CSMA website so I can't say whether or not you get a genuine discount, it seems you have to phone.

Just found a 20% code from 'Buy a gift' which save quite a bit on the above.
