Media Release: NEW Ultimate Silk Road journey with Golden Eagle Luxury Trains

When one luxury train is not enough, guests can now combine two and see more of this spectacular region. With the launch of the Golden Eagle Silk Road Express comes an epic 22-day journey from Golden Eagle Luxury Trains with six nights onboard the new train and 12 nights on the famed Golden Eagle train.

Billed as an extraordinary new way to explore the ancient Silk Road in safety and luxury, the Grand Silk Road departure is slated for September 2026 taking in some of the world's most remote and historically rich regions in supreme comfort and safety. 

James Masterson, who is the grandson of owner and founder Tim Littler, is Director of Product Development and plays a key role in designing the company's packages. "The new itineraries on the Silk Road Express will help travellers explore fascinating regions with exclusive highlights and unique inclusions," said Mr Masterson.

The Grand Silk Road voyage will span 6500 kilometres, taking guests from the imperial capital, Beijing to the fabled cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva, and beyond to Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, following the footsteps of early traders. 

Guests can explore the wonders of UNESCO-listed sites, historical cities, and vibrant local cultures, all while experiencing the height of rail luxury. From the Gobi Desert's majestic dunes to the turquoise waters of Lake Issyk-Kul, every moment of this voyage promises immersive authenticity. From Beijing, guests will board the new Silk Road Express for the six-night journey. This new train offers magnificent spacious cabins with ensuites, sumptuous bar and dining cars and an expansive observation car with 270-degree views. Then the esteemed Golden Eagle train awaits for the next 12 nights travelling through the regions of the Stans, ending this grand adventure in Almaty.
