New luxury Trans-Siberian Express to stop in Ulaanbaatar

Travelers may now travel to
Ulaanbaatar from Vladivostok en route to Moscow, aboard a five-star
version of the Trans-Siberian Express.
A British company, GW Travel,
has begun regular service across Siberia, via Mongolia, to Moscow on
the new $25 million Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express.
Luxury and elegance is the
rule as travelers live in spacious accommodations, dine in beautiful
dining rooms and chat in special lounges.
Renowned chefs prepare world-class
meals and travelers are urged to enjoy the train’s wine selection. Russia’s traditional Trans-Siberian
Express is also famous, however, often for the wrong reasons. Accommodations
on the train are cramped, the food is too often mediocre, and too many
passengers pass the endless days using vodka to ease the pain of the
endless hours.
GW Travel is hoping to offer
a real alternative to the Russian grind through Siberia. The only catch,
of course, is the price. The fifteen-day trip costs
$17,000 for a single or $24,000 for a double room.
