The Golden Eagle is a legend among luxury trains, with a selection of routes taking in the spectacular scenery, historic cities and fascinating cultures of a vast region stretching right across the Silk Route countries of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan and into eastern and central Europe.
Life onboard
Everything about the Golden Eagle screams old-world luxury. It all begins as you step onboard to be greeted with the soothing sounds of the train’s resident pianist and a glass of vintage champagne, served among the dark-wood grandeur of the bar car – also the venue for afternoon teas and expert lectures.
The restaurant carriage is equally delightful, with full-board menus of made-to-order breakfasts and dinners featuring the likes of salmon caviar. It’s all washed down with complimentary drinks.
Come the evening, you’ll retire to your en-suite cabin, where plush sofas convert to both an upper berth and a small double bed. And, while all feature LCD screens and a 24-hour service from personal attendants, upgrades mix in extra space, underfloor heating and drinks at the bar included in the price. The wood-panelled Imperial Suites are a special highlight.
