Join us for nine nights aboard the exclusively chartered, deluxe M.S. Volga Dream, the premier ship cruising Russia’s waterways. This carefully crafted itinerary highlights Russia’s two great cultural capitals. Spend one night aboard ship in the fabled city of Moscow, the political and commercial capital of the world’s largest country and see the world’s largest collection of Fabergé eggs. And spend two nights aboard ship in St. Petersburg, Czar Peter the Great’s “window on the West,” where you will enjoy a guided tour of the State Hermitage Museum. Cruise through the heartland of Mother Russia along scenic rivers, lakes and canals to 10th-century Uglich, medieval Yaroslavl, the 14th-century monastery of Goritsy and the legendary open-air museum of Kizhi Island—rustic remnants of Old Russia. This unique and always popular program appeals to the first-time visitor to Russia and the return visitor curious to see the astounding changes that have taken place in Russia’s two largest and most important cities. A two-night Moscow pre-cruise option is offered.
