General tour description
This luxurious train was launched in every respect for the 400th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty. In a 2-week trip, passengers can travel from Moscow to Vladivostok with stops and excursions in the most interesting corners of Russia. And at the same time enjoy the comfort with which Nicholas II traveled. In each of the interesting Russian places there will be a stop with a sightseeing tour, a master class of local crafts or dinner at a restaurant. Passengers are accommodated in the train compartment by class, like on a cruise ship. Accommodation in a VIP carriage resembles a luxurious cabin - a double bed, wooden furniture, a bathroom with a shower. The interiors are adorned with red "royal" velvet, heavy curtains and crystal chandeliers with soft light. The train has a carriage that really deserves the name "restaurant". A spacious room with a fluffy carpet, graceful drapery and lighting. On the menu: borscht, pies, cutlets, fish soup, sturgeon. Passengers dine at tables with snow-white tablecloths accompanied by live piano and violin music. After dinner, a lecture on Russia: history, traditions, cuisine. Passengers do not leave until late at night. Most of the travelers on the train are foreigners or descendants of Russian immigrants who have heard so much about Russia that they decided to really see it. A pleasant company and interesting acquaintances are guaranteed.
