Itinerary - 15 Night Luxury Holiday by Rail - Silver Class Cabin

Days 1 and 2

Moscow

Arrive into Moscow and transfer to the 5 star Marriott Royal Aurora Moscow (or similar) for a one night stay. Meet your fellow travellers as you enjoy a welcome reception dinner at the hotel.

Enjoy breakfast in the hotel before you are transferred to Moscow’s Yaroslavski station to join the luxury private sleeper train, the Golden Eagle. There will be a welcome reception and introduction to the train staff in the bar car, followed by dinner as the train heads eastwards towards Yaroslavl. This is the time of year the Russians call ‘White Nights’ so there won't be many hours of darkness in the next two weeks!

Day 3

Kungor and Yekaterinburg

Kungor, which is located in the Urals, is most famous for its Ice Caves which date back over 12,000 years and is one of the biggest caves in the world. In the late evening the train continues towards Yekaterinburg. Yekaterinburg is the third largest Russian city and was founded in 1723 by Peter the Great. You are taken to the poignant site where the Romanov, Nicholas II of Russia was executed with his family by the Bolsheviks in 1918. The site is now a church dedicated to their memory and the site provides a powerful insight into the turmoil of the Russian Revolution.

Day 4

Kalino

Enjoy breakfast on the train before arriving in the town of Kalino. Take the opportunity to visit the preserved Perm-36 Gulag and Museum in nearby Kutchino which was the site of one of the harshest Soviet Gulag prison camps for political opponents during the communist Soviet period and only closed in 1990.

Day 5

Velikiy Ustyug

Labitnangi and Salekhard

From Labitnangi, cross the River Ob to the prosperous town of Salekhard. You are taken on a tour of the town which is considered to be the only town in the world which is located right on the Polar Circle. The train departs Labitnangi before stopping in the afternoon at the Europe/Asia Monument.

There is an early start this morning as you arrive into Kem. You are then transferred onto a small boat which takes you to the Solovetsky Monastery on Solovetsky Island. The Island is the location used as the basis for Solzhenitzyn’s "Gulag Archipelago" and is infamous for its ‘Special Purpose Camp’ which was set up by Stalin. After spending the day on Solovetsky Island you cross the Arctic Circle and head to the most northerly point on the journey.

Day 11

Nikel Murmansk and Murmansk

Enjoy breakfast on the train before arriving at Nikel, which is situated on the border with Norway. The train station at Nikel is close to the Nikel smelting plant. The plant has been partly responsible for the devastation to the surrounding countryside. This is an eerie place but it has been considered to be one of the highlights of previous tours.

Moscow

Moscow is a mighty capital city with some iconic attractions including the Red Square, the Kremlin, Lenin’s Tomb, containing the Communist leader’s embalmed body, St Basil’s Cathedral and Gorky Park. Make sure you have a look around the grand and ornately decorated State Historical Museum, just next to the Kremlin. Some of the stations on the metro resemble underground stately homes and are well worth a visit!

St Petersburg

St Petersburg

The culturally rich city of St Petersburg is a highlight of any itinerary to Russia. Marvel at the European-inspired architecture, boulevards and tree-lined canals of this magnificent city. Don’t miss a visit to the Hermitage, one of the world’s largest and most famous art museums, located over several buildings along the River Neva, one of which was the former Winter Palace of the Russian Tsars.
