Russian River Cruises

If you're looking for something a little different for your next vacation, think about taking a Russian river cruise. Russian river cruises offer many advantages over a traditional ocean cruise. One is flexibility. River cruises can last anywhere to half a day to two weeks or more. There are all kinds of different cruises you can take. Some of them are romantic and luxurious while others are more adventurous and exciting. River cruises range from affordable in price to extravagant depending on their length and the features offered.

Moscow is a common river cruise starting point and destination. This beautiful and historic city has a lot to offer including beautiful scenery and plenty of interesting landmarks. St. Petersburg is another popular Russian river port of call. Many of the cruises that visit these cities include shore excursions where you can tour world famous attractions. Visits to art museums, monasteries and cathedrals are examples of common shore excursions available in these areas of Russia. It is not uncommon for a river cruise through Russian cities to span ten days or more.

One popular cruise from Moscow to St. Petersburg lasts twelve days and eleven nights. You get to visit destinations like Moscow, Goritsy, Kizhi, Mandrogi and St. Petersburg. Side excursions may include trips to the St. Petersburg Hermitage, the Kirillo-Belosersky Monastery in Goritsy or even the Kremlin in Moscow. On such a lengthly cruise you also get to enjoy fine dining, shopping trips, various types of entertainment and of course the beautiful natural scenery. You can expect a cruise of this nature to cost you anywhere from $2000 to $3000 on average.

Of course, not every river cruise in Russia is this long or expensive. If you are visiting Russia as a guest there is no better way to explore than on a river cruise. You can book afternoon or even dinner cruises that combine fine food with a guided tour cruise down some of the most beautiful waterways in the world. If you are interested in Russian river cruises, you can find more information on the Internet or book your trip with a travel agent. There are a variety of companies that offer fine river cruises in this part of the world including European River Cruises and Imperial Travel.
