Luxury trains

Russian Railways is expanding its range of luxury services for passengers looking for even more comfort.

Russian Railways currently operates superior business, deluxe and VIP class cars.

VIP-cars differ from the business-class and luxury cars in terms of their extra comfort and superior exclusive interior design.

There are two types of VIP cars, one with four compartments and a bar, the other with six compartments. Each VIP compartment has two berths: a sofa-bed (120cm) and a folding upper berth (90cm), as well as a shower, toilet, wardrobe, individually adjustable air conditioning, DVD-player and a personal electronic lock.

Each VIP compartment car is sold as a unit for one or two people. The price includes hot meals, a set of towels, bathrobe, slippers, travel set and fresh newspapers.
