Luxury Trans-Siberia Train

From a Reuters article:

The Golden Eagle ... offers passengers ensuite bathrooms, underfloor heating and plasma screen TVs in every cabin along the 9,300 kilometer (5,778 miles) Moscow to Vladivostok route, one of the longest train trips in the world.

A single ticket on the Golden Eagle will cost up to 9,595 pounds ($19,235) for the 13- to 15-day journey. A ticket on a normal Russian train costs around 10,000 roubles ($400) for the seven-day nonstop trip.

The last quote is funny:

"Why go by train when you can fly?" Igor Yevgenavich, 52, said. "Just think how much vodka you would drink in that time on the train? Much cheaper and safer to fly."
