Russia River Cruises - cruise between Moscow
and St Petersburg or the River Dnieper
to the Black Sea |
| Discover Russia, one of the world’s most fascinating
destinations. Cruise the waterways of the
Tsars – the scenic rivers, canals
and lakes which connect Russia’s two
old imperial capitals, Moscow
and St Petersburg.
Now you can sail along the same routes in
a style that the Tsars themselves would
have envied.
Explore these historic and fascinating cities - Moscow with its wide avenues, famous Red Square and the
Kremlin contrasting with the magnificently
crafted buildings of St Petersburg and its Winter
Palace set on a network of canals.
In Moscow see St Basil’s Cathedral in Red Square, the Kremlin, GUM Department Store, and the ornate Metro system. In St Petersburg see the Hermitage Museum in the Winter Palace, Peterhof Palace with its Grand Cascade, and Catherine’s Summer Palace at Pushkin.
See the architecture of old Russia and the magnificent treasure
troves of art in the famous Golden Ring cities.
Visit mysterious Kizhi Island, the city of
Uglich, and ancient Yaroslavl.
Experience the countryside that has inspired generations of
poets, painters and composers.
The Kiev to the Black Sea
cruise holidays travel the Ukraine along the River
Dnieper, the third longest river in Europe, to the
Black Sea. From Kiev with its domed St Sophia
Cathedral and Pecherskaya monastery the cruise passes through
gentle rolling countryside dotted with villages and their
church domes. Entering the Black Sea the cruise visits Catherine
the Great’s Odessa, the resort of Yalta,
and the port of Sevastapol, noted for the
famous siege.
A cruise through Russia or Ukraine
is more than a holiday. It is a unique cultural
experience that will remain in your heart
forever.
