The route taken and flexibilty of route differ depending on which train you choose. Below we have outlined the diiference between travel on The GW Golden Eagle and the public trains along the Trans-Siberian railway.
The GW train has a fixed route, travelling between Moscow to Vladivostok, with fixed departures which cannot be varied – except for travelling either east to west or west to east. We can also arrange extensions to the trip, such as to St Petersburg.
The public trains run all year round with more frequent departures. The two most popular routes are from Moscow to Vladivostok (or visa versa), or Moscow to Beijing (or visa versa) via Mongolia. Moscow to Beijing is the more popular route. It crosses the Gobi desert and is more scenically varied; passing through three different countries it is also more culturally varied. It is also possible to add on St Petersburg to the start or end of your trip.
The Tsar's Gold is a private train running between Moscow and Beijing. It has fixed departure dates with a range of cabin options to suit a variety of budgets. We can arrange extensions to see more of China as well as to St Petersburg.
