Our twin-berth cabins are the perfect private retreat, comfortably furnished and traditionally decorated with the varnished wood and brass reminiscent of a different age.

Each includes a ‘Pullman’ table and deep armchair alongside a large picture window, a perfect place from which to take in China’s ever-changing scenery. A state of the art shower car complements the washrooms shared between every two cabins.

Meals are served in the train’s spacious restaurant car, where our dedicated chefs serve a western breakfast followed by a wide range of authentic Chinese specialities at lunch and dinner, using only the finest local ingredients. As well as soft drinks, tea and coffee, meals are accompanied by a selection of wines from around the world.

However perhaps even more special is the unique ambience of the piano bar car, where our on-board pianist is always happy to take requests. Staying open until the last person leaves, the bar is the perfect place to get to know your fellow passengers… or simply while away some time, reading or taking in the scenery while enjoying your favourite drink.

Note that tours running through both Russia CIS and China will use the ‘Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express’(see pages 10-11) for the Russian and CIS part of the journey.
