From Moscow to Murmansk Onboard Arktika Trains

Running from the stunning capital of Russia, Moscow, to mysterious Murmansk, the biggest city north of the Arctic Circle, Arktika trains are the only branded vehicles on the railway route. Their beautiful name is the Russian translation of the Arctic, and, unsurprisingly, they got it thanks to the far-away terminus station. The first run happened over half a century ago, and it was a significant event at the time. Traveling by Arktika trains was a luxury, as they offered much more comfortable conditions and faster travel times than any other train from Moscow to Murmansk. There are three travel classes at your service, Plazkart, Kupe, and SV. Those who prefer to travel in first-class can't go wrong by choosing SV for the journey, as it's the deluxe option meant for two people. Kupe is another popular and more budget-friendly choice, offering a bit humbler amenities and meant for four people. Plazkart is the cheapest option that doesn't provide much comfort, as the compartments are designed for six people and don't even have lockable doors.
