For a place in a 2-seater coupe and 2.8 million, if you want to go in an individual coupe without a neighbor.
This is not a joke, these are real prices for the Russian Railways train along the route Moscow-Beijing, which is sent only a few times a year.
Externally - almost the usual train, but inside ... Gourmet interiors, heated floors, spa, gym, individual service and governess. In each carriage of that lacker train "Golden Eagle" is only 5-6 coupe of different classes, in the composition of 2 restaurant car, wagon-car, car bar and a whole car for service personnel.
The train runs on two routes: Moscow-Beijing with tickets from 22350 euros for a place in a double coupe up to 40,000 euros for an individual coupe and monthly from Moscow to Vladivostok at more humane prices ... from 14395 euros per ticket!
And yes, I remind you, it's Russian Railways!


2. Here is more about the cost of tickets, which is indicated on the Railways website.
Do not be surprised that the prices are indicated in the euro. They say this train is very popular with foreigners ...
It is understandable, I hardly imagine a massive Russian who agrees to pay for a trip from Moscow to Vladivostok by train more than 1 million rubles


3. This is what the train looks like
This is a joint project of Russian Railways, "Russian Rail trend", the English tourist company GW Travel Limited, GK "Transsiberian Express" and LLC "NPP" Zirkon-Service ". The preparatory stage of the project lasted seven years, and the first train went on the road in March 2007. For season, the train commits 12 flights between Moscow and Vladivostok and several flights on other routes.
The train "Golden Eagle" consists of 19 cars for 120 passengers and 56 people attendants. In addition to residential wagons, the composition includes: a diesel generator car, two restaurant carriages, a car bar, a wagon-kitchen, service wagon, a separate car for personnel. The train is completely autonomy, it provides itself with electricity and on board a monthly supply of drinking water and provisions. Tourists are placed in a double compartment with a separate bathroom and shower. In each carriage 5-6 such compartments. The cost of a ticket is included three-time standard meals, as well as drinks, including alcoholic. Railway All Inclusive.

4. So looks like a coupe of the imperial class

5. And so the silver class coupe.
The compartment of the gold and imperial classes is equipped with a heated floor. Square Coupe in silver - 5 square meters, gold - 7.

6. In each coupe, regardless of class, its bathroom

7. In the train, as I said, two cars-restaurant, one car bar, luggage warehouse. It is there that there are suitcases, pictures, baskets, cards ... Right on the move of the trains can be cut through the course of massage, work out gymnastics, improve well-being and appearance using SPA procedures and visit the doctor. Medpunkt on the train is clearly not superfluous, given that the average passenger of the Golden Eagle is a gentleman of the retirement age.

8. In total, five wagons are completely given for the needs of the celoded tourists. Two of them are the restaurant halls with quadruple tables, in which all 120 passengers can be freely located. The kitchen occupies a whole car located in the middle of the composition between the halls. Through it, you can go through the fenced passage, the wall of which separates the area of \u200b\u200bwork of cooks from tourists. All products take with you from Moscow, the equipment of the movable galley allows us to treat tourists with a variety of dishes: from fresh baking to culinary masterpieces from fish and meat. The menu is designed in such a way that in 47 days no dish is repeated. The only drawback is common to all menus, alternative dishes can only offer vegetarians or, for example, allergies. For the product warehouse involved another car.
