We are going on the Northern Europe / Russia cruise mid next year and considering taking one of the day tours operated by the cruise company to Moscow. Its roundtrip via Sapsan train from St Petersberg. Anyone been on the train before?
 
Not that one, but about 20 years ago I rode the Red Arrow overnight from St. Petersburg to Moscow. This was supposed to be at that time a train that was not available to non-Russians, but some business associates in St. Petersburg got me tickets and escorted me onto the train, where I shared a couchette with 3 other (Russian) businessmen. At that time, the track was very rough in spots -- thought were going to derail a few times. Got my photo taken in front of the onion-domed Basiiica in Red Square by other business associates that met me there for the day. Returned overnight on another train from Moscow to Helsinki.
