The Volga Dream is certified to be the most luxurious boat cruising in Russia today, being completly rebuilt recently to become the most spacious water cruise ship with undoubtably the highest standards of food, interiors and service. It has two routes: the 7 day Moscow to St. Petersburg cruise and the 10 day Moscow to Astrakhan cruise. On board all meals (as well as drinks with meals) 24hr tea/coffee and cookies are included and there are plenty of lectures, cookery classes, concerts and themed evening parties to keep you entertained. If you just want to relax and watch the scenery their spectacular deck is filled with wooden loungers and staff are always on hand to offer advice and bring you fresh drinks and snacks. Off-board the daily excursions take you right into the heart of Russian history and culture at the many stunningly beautiful villages and towns along the way. Of all cruises we have been on we enjoyed the Volga Dream the most.
