Golden Eagle Luxury Trans-Siberian Express INCLUDES $200 per person on board credit* All aboard the longest continuous train journey in the world, hauled in part by steam locomotives and undoubtedly one of the most coveted travel experiences of all time in beautiful cobalt-blue luxury carriages. During this epic 6000-mile journey, you’ll cruise on wheels in absolute comfort, through less-visited regions of the world’s largest country, via Mongolia, to the far-flung easterly reaches of Vladivostok, savour freshly-prepared meals in the elegant restaurant cars, or sip a drink accompanied by the sound of the resident pianist with plenty of time to take in the vistas of this seemingly infinite terrain. Explore the architecture of Moscow and Kazan, place a foot in both Europe and Asia at the same time in Yekaterinburg and learn about this monumental railway in Novosibirsk. Enjoy a barbeque by the deepest lake on Earth and marvel at the enormous monument to Ghenghis Khan in Mongolia, spending time with local people along the way, experiencing remote Siberian life in the vast wilderness first-hand.
