The Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express from Moscow to Vladivostok

The Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express journey from Moscow to Vladivostok is truly one of the world's most incredible rail experiences.

The Trans-Siberian Railway runs from Moscow over the Urals, across the magnificent Russian steppes and alongside the shores of Lake Baikal, the world's largest freshwater lake by volume. By the time this luxury train arrives in Vladivostok it will have passed through eight time zones and travelled over 6,000 miles (9,656km) - one third of the world!

The Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express adventure takes a leisurely 12-nights stopping along the way to experience the local culture. From Moscow, Russia's vibrant capital, we travel east through Tartarstan, stopping at Kazan, with its beautiful Kremlin. We then glide through the Ural Mountains, across the Europe-Asia divide to Yekaterinburg, where the Romanovs were executed. The scenery changes dramatically as we pull into the austere tundra of Siberia, stopping at the capital of Novosibirsk and Irkutsk, the 'Paris of Siberia'. The Golden Eagle travels along the coast of Lake Baikal and into Ulan Ude, the focal point of Russian Buddhism. We then dip into Mongolia, visiting Ulaanbaatar, before travelling back into the permafrost of Siberia for the final leg of our journey to the Sea of Japan and the city of Vladivostok.
