Cruises

A romantic and memorable trip down the Volga river from Moscow to St. Petersburg or vice versa is the dream of many a foreign visitor to Russia. Watching the expansive onion-dome covered scenery of Russian legends expanding away into the horizon from the comfort of a cruise ship, is truly a magical experience. During the summer months many cruise companies plow the route between the cities, one of the best of which is the Volga Dream cruise, a review of which you can read here.

For those visiting St. Petersburg you may be happy to hear that it is now possible to arrive by boat from nearby Helsinki and taking the St. Peter Line cruise even allows you 72 visa-free hours in St. Petersburg.
