Golden Eagle Luxury Trains —
Golden Eagle is probably best known for its flagship journey, the Trans-Siberian Express. One of the world’s greatest railway journeys, and topping many travelers’ bucket list, the Trans-Siberian Railway runs across Russia, through Siberia, connecting east and west, from Moscow over the Urals, across the magnificent and endless steppe and alongside the shore of Lake Baikal, the world’s largest freshwater lake. This iconic railway journey goes through 8 time zones and covers a staggering 6,600 miles (10,600kms)!
Golden Eagle Luxury Trains specializes in fully-escorted long-distance rail tours for those who wish to visit some of the world’s most remote destinations in style and comfort. Their private and fully inclusive luxury train tours include plenty of cultural immersion with a comprehensive off-train excursion program, a fully inclusive fine-dining experience including quality wines, and overnight stays in some of the finest 5-star hotels in Europe.
In addition to several Trans-Siberian journeys, they also offer 14-day journeys across Eastern and Central Europe aboard the Golden Eagle Danube Express, which includes daily stops and cultural excursions in each city.
