Russian tour If coming from West Coast or further plan an extra day before tour starts to give yourself time to adjust. First day program in Moscow is very intense. Our guide in Moscow was knowledgeable but too strict, insisting we listen to her and stand right next to her at all times, giving almost no time for photos or questions. Staff on board were exceptional particularly our cruise director, Olga. I loved the boat, all wood paneling and old world. Food plentiful and delicious. Marvelous guide, Natasha, in St. Petersburg. Night tour of Moscow was not worth doing. However, performance in St. Petersburg was worth every penny, but be prepared to fight for your unassigned seats. Overall, a wonderful trip I would recommend to anyone.

A trip we would recommend to our friends. Never having been on a cruise, we were unsure of what we would experience. We were very pleasantly surprised, the staff were excellent, food was delicious, entertainment was enjoyable, lectures opened our eyes to the history of Russia and in general we had a wonderful time. Our fellow passengers also made our trip one with wonderful memories.

Everything was just perfect, with the exception of the Kampinski Hotel in St.Petersburg.: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
