Discover the Tsar’s Gold

Travel in style on the 8,961-kilometre Tans-Mongolian Route, along the usually closed original route of the famous Trans-Siberian. Take in Lake Baikal, Moscow, Mongolia, Siberia, and Beijing amongst others.

This journey will take you through some incredible landscapes and follow the history of the Tsars from Russia through Mongolia to China, visiting palaces, cathedrals and small villages all in the comfort of your own private, safe, and clean train.

About this journey

With Cabins originally designed for Russian president Leonid Brezhnev and his staff, you’ll enjoy all modern facilities and comforts with a hint of classical décor.

When it comes to food, there’s no holding back either. With two beautifully decorated restaurant cars, you can enjoy chef-cooked traditional and international dishes in the comfort of your travelling palace. Retire to your quiet cabin, or enjoy an informal bar experience in one of the lounges. Your journey, your way…
