Golden Eagle Train Trans-Siberian Express

Golden Eagle Train

A particular delight of the Golden Eagle Train is the 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 on the Golden Eagle Train are accompanied by complimentary wines from around the world, as well as, naturally, vodka!

Golden Eagle Bar Car

The social heart of our Golden Eagle 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. At the end of the tour, you may settle your bar bill. The ‘standard tariff’ drinks are free of charge to Gold Class and Imperial Class passengers. The international brands are free of charge to Imperial Class passengers only.

Gold and Silver Class cabins on the Golden Eagle Train 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 on the Golden Eagle Train. Firstly, the size of the cabin, often a very important consideration, as this will be your home for 14/21 nights. Gold class is 77sq ft and Silver class 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.

IMPORTANT:
Note that tours running through both Russia CIS and China (Silk Road Tour)  will use the Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express for the Russian and CIS part of the journey and the Shangri-La Express for the Chinese part.   The Shangri-La Express DOES NOT have private shower/wc facilities.
The following arrangements are made to ensure your comfort:
IMPERIAL CLASS AND GOLD CLASS TWINS receive two cabins per couple, with exclusive use of the washroom.
