English speaking guides will accompany the group on city visits and will emphasize the historical, cultural and social importance of each location. The goal is to learn and experience first hand about our Russian neighbors, and to establish business contacts along the way.

The Trans-Siberian Railway Journey will operate with one or a combination of private Circumpolar Expedition VIP cars attached to the regular train services. These cars will be detached for city stop-overs and then re-attached later to continue the journey. The cars are quite comfortable, and the sleeping compartments on the train are two berth compartments. 

Dining facilities, a bar, laundry services and showers are all available on the train. All meals are included. Those served on the train are prepared by the group's own chef and will be served in the restaurant or saloon car. Local restaurants will be featured during the city visits.

City visits include stops in Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Ulan Ude, Port Baikal (including a beach barbecue at Lake Baikal), Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Ekaterinburg, St. Petersburg, and the final destination, Moscow.
