Beijing to Moscow on an opulent cruise ship on wheels is the ultimate rail journey.
Retracing one of the most important trading routes of ancient civilization, the Silk Road follows in the footsteps of such legendary figures as Alexander the Great and Marco Polo.
For centuries, merchants and adventurers journeyed to and from China on ancient routes through some of the most testing landscapes in the world trading silk, spices and perfumes. These ‘highways’ – stretching some 4,000 miles (6,400 km) – collectively came to be called the ‘Silk Road’.
The accommodations are modern, stylish cabins offering various class range. 
The journey lasts 21 days beginning in Moscow and terminating in Beijing.
