Accommodations on the Private Trains
The evocative experience of long-distance rail travel can be yours on these international journeys by comfortable private train. Modern onboard amenities, excellent cuisine and outstanding off-train cultural excursions combine to enhance your enjoyment of these rich and relaxing adventures across cultures and continents.
The tours make use of a variety of different comfortable private passenger trains: the Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express, the Siberian Tiger Private Train, the Tsar's Gold Private Train, the Danube Express, and the Shangri-La Express. In addition, trips to Lhasa also employ the regularly scheduled high-altitude train for the daytime segment between Golmud and Lhasa.
Accommodation styles vary among trains. The Shangri-La Express is utilized on tour itineraries within China. Tours operating in Russia, Mongolia and Central Asia employ the Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express or the Tsar's Gold private trains.
