A country larger than some continents, Russia is at once captivating, beautiful, enigmatic and enchanting. This vast land stretches from Europe to the Orient and embraces diverse cultures and ever-changing scenery from snow-capped mountains and remote tundra to its formidably majestic cities.

Though today’s Russia is changing fast, the grandeur of yesteryear lives on. The world’s largest country has experienced an often tragic, turbulent and dramatic past resulting in a fascinating history of suitably epic proportions.

Russia’s cosmopolitan capital city of Moscow rushes headlong into the 21^st Century as it embraces change and western influences. Yet its past is reflected in the grand arches of St. Basil’s Cathedral, the onion-domed skyline of the Kremlin and the imposing grandeur of Red Square.

St. Petersburg conveys a contrasting image of Russia, one inhabited by the Tsars and rich with colossal churches, stunning palaces and the incomparable Hermitage museum.

The best way to experience the diversity and uniqueness of the largest country in the world is on board the most luxurious of trains.
