Grand Express Train - St. Petersburg to Moscow

Everything Starts With First Class

Since May of 2001, Russia's railway transportation industry has undergone a bit of a transformation. In an effort to upgrade the overall quality and services offered onboard trains, a government order was created to encourage private railway companies. Grand Express emerged from this innovative step as a leader among overnight train experiences.

"With all the amenities of a hotel, Grand Express offers one-of-a-kind trips from St. Petersburg to Moscow and back."

With all the amenities of a hotel, Grand Express offers one-of-a-kind trips from St. Petersburg to Moscow and back. Relax with a hot shower before slipping into their famous cozy bathrobes or sipping lemonade in their 24/7 restaurant. Dine on hot or cold meals, ethnic and European dishes, as you watch the gorgeous Russian scenery pass by your window. Unwind over a movie in your suite, letting the rocking of the train lull you into a peaceful relaxation coma. Grand Express is a true hotel on wheels!

One of the many perks of the Grand Express is its offer of personal service. By registering for their bonus program, you gain access to perks such as private meals in your car, flower delivery, luggage transportation, and more! There is also a magazine produced by Grand Express, Grand, that contains invaluable traveling information and data on your train and overall trip.
