Classic Original Trans-Siberian - Moscow to Vladivostok
This route attracted adventurers and writers, while today it appeals not only to train buffs but to historians and those who want to travel the “original” route. It’s also popular with those planning to journey on to Japan. You don’t pass through Mongolia on this route and nor do you stop in Siberian destinations such as Ekaterinburg, Irkutsk and Ulan-Uday, although we’ll be delighted to discuss the options for adding the latter to your experience.
After spending two nights in Moscow you will then embark on a non- stop trainj ourney through to Vladivostok. What thismeans is you will spend six nights/ sevendays on board with no opportunity todisembark and visit any of the fascinatingtowns and regions you’ll be passingthrough. We hope you consider stronglybefore booking this journey, our mantra is “what makes thesetrips special is what’s possible along theway in places that international airlinesbarely touch”. The train journey might beinteresting for completists - but you’ll sailstraight past “the good stuff” on this route!
Itinerary Hide all details
“S Priezdom” Welcome to Moscow. Our driver will be there to meet you from whichever flight, train or boat you arrive. You’ll then be transferred to the Panorama 3★ Hotel. (We can obtain rates for superior hotels ask a member of the reservations team for details.) Your complimentary InfoPack is full of ideas for getting the most out of your free time.
After breakfast one of our local experts will meet you at your hotel in the lobby for a three hour walking and familiarisation tour, to introduce the city (and its public transport system) and to get your sightseeing off to a flying start. The rest of the day’s your own.
Transfer to Yaroslavsky Station where you will board the Vladivostok bound train.
The dining car is the heart of social life on the train. It functions as bar, lounge, and take-out snack store, as well as a café serving reasonably-priced meals. It is a great place to meet fellow travellers and locals alike, sharing your experiences of your journey so far with a few drinks, which no doubt will include some Vodka – and maybe smoked salmon and caviar too!

Extras
The journey you have chosen has some “extras” that are necessary and then “extras that will enhance your trip. We cannot re-iterate too much that we pride ourselves on making the trip you have chosen the best it can be – so if we don’t mention something you want, ask us and we’ll try our best to make it happen! In return, we try to inform you about any great “extras” along the way, so that you have the chance to try them if you want! Visas are a necessary extra and needed for all the countries you travel through and the current costs and what is needed can be found under Visas.
Upgrading to 2- berth compartment
Upgrading to 2- berth compartment on the train is also an option, you will see under Prices. This service is becoming more popular every year and not helped by the train operators only confirming this request 30 days or less prior to your departure. We have however devised a workaround for this that’s proving very reliable. We request a 2-berth at the time of booking but if this comes back not possible we block out a 4-berth compartment for 2 person occupancy. The standard of these cabins remains the same, and you get the extra space and privacy one way or the other.
Departures on alternate days of the month.
Few rare exceptions – please confirm with us.
