The golden age of rail travel lives on aboard the Golden Eagle train. With all the accoutrements of a fine hotel, Golden Eagle offers guests an exclusive experience of first-class accommodations and service. An elegant lounge car, creative cuisine in the opulent dining car, well-appointed en suite cabins and personal cabin attendants comprise the lavish offerings on this once-in-a-lifetime rail journey. Spacious private cabins have large picture windows, underfloor heating, individual temperature control, double lower bed and single upper berth, a fully equipped bathroom with separate shower cubicle, hair dryer, bathrobes, slippers and toiletries, DVD player with LCD screen, and complimentary tea, coffee and mineral water in the cabin available at all times. The double bed folds up to create sofa seating at a table. The Bar Lounge Car is the social hub on board, the place to relax over a drink with fellow passengers and enjoy a slate of entertaining and enriching activities such as Russian language lessons and engaging lectures on local history and culture by expert presenters. The restaurant features Russian gastronomic specialties such as black sturgeon and Pacific red salmon caviar as well as a variety of fresh and healthy international cuisine. All meals are skillfully prepared by the executive chef and his onboard team, using the very best locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. After dinner, retire to the lounge car to sip a digestif while the resident pianist creates the background mood on a baby grand piano, playing until the last guests depart.
