Price Per Person From	USD $3379	-

The prices shown above are per person travelling. 'Twin/Double' prices per person apply when there are 2 people travelling, sharing a room/cabin.

The 'single supplement' applies for single travellers and needs to be added to the 'Twin/Double' price. If a solo traveller wishing to upgrade to a 2 berth exclusively (or wanting to share with another member of the public) or party of 3 wishing to exclusively occupy a 4 berth cabin, please contact us for rates.

Upgrades to 1st class cabins are subject to route and availability. Some trains may only be configured with one 1st class 2 berth cabin wagon (containing 9 cabins or 18 seats in total. On services between Ulan Ude and Irkutsk, there are no 2 berth cabins available, and on the once-weekly service between Beijing and Ulaan Baatar seats are offered on a per person basis, so we cannot provide for a ‘buy-out’ of a 4 berth cabin to be occupied by 2 passengers, if a 2 berth cabin isn’t available on that route.
