MIR Corporation – the name means "peace" and "world" in Russian – is an award-winning tour company that has been specializing in creative, culturally immersive journeys along the Silk Route, the Trans-Siberian Railway, to Russia and beyond, since 1986. Read More

Why Choose MIR

MIR offers you the best of both worlds: all the assurances of working with a 30-year-old American based travel company staffed by experts with first-hand destination expertise; plus all the benefits of on-site quality control from the MIR affiliated field offices located in Western Russia, Siberia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. There's no other American tour outfitter that deals exclusively with this slice of the globe, and none with more first-hand experience, stronger on-the-ground contacts, or more affection for the region.

The Chicago Tribune mentioned MIR’s “Inside the Russian Space Program” in its column Trips, Tips and Deals. The Trib recommended the small group tour as a more reasonably priced alternative to a Richard Branson space flight. Read the full article here....
