A particular delight of the Golden Eagle is our two beautifully appointed restaurant cars, the venue for our chefs to serve carefully prepared meals using only the finest local ingredients. Whether it is the world-renowned ‘Borsch’, caviar or Omul - a fish unique to Lake Baikal - we offer a culinary experience representing the very best of Russia.

Our meals are complimented by wines from around the world, as well as, naturally, vodka!

The social heart of our train is of course the bar car, a great place to relax and settle into the unhurried pace of life on board. Unwind in comfortable surroundings and watch the world go by as you get to know your fellow passengers' the bar stays open until the last person leaves.

Gold and Silver Class cabins on the Golden Eagle are amongst the most spacious and luxurious cabins available in rail accommodation anywhere in the world. They both contain bunk style beds, the lower of which is multi purpose. At 4' 5" (1.35 m) for Gold (4' or 1.2 m for Silver) this double bed is converted into a comfortable sofa by your friendly cabin attendant on a daily basis. The cabins also feature state of the art facilities which include a DVD/CD player, LCD screen, wardrobe, individual air conditioning and en-suite bathroom facilities which include a power shower, w.c. and basin (as well as bathrobe, slippers hairdryer and complimentary toiletries).

There are two key differences between Gold and Silver class for you to consider when choosing your cabin type. Firstly, the size of the cabin, often a very important consideration, as this will be your home for 14/21 nights. Gold is 77sq ft and Silver is 60sq ft. Secondly, the bathroom. Gold en-suite facilities include a separate shower cubicle and state of the art under-floor heating to make sure your feet are always warm when walking on the tiles. The Silver en-suite is in a 'wet room' style, which means that the shower is within the bathroom but not in a separate shower cubicle.

New Heritage Cabins feature 8 cabins in the carriage. The beds are bunk style with the lower bed the same size as standard double bed and the upper bed the size of a standard single bed. The cabin is without a bathroom/w.c. but has wardrobe space and an individual washbasin. The total size of the cabin is 39 sq ft. There are 2 toilets at each end of the carriage and the 9th compartment of the carriage is a shower room.
