“This 8 day trip is a good introduction to Moscow and St Petersburg with the added bonus of visits to two smaller towns in Russia. There is a fair amount of intern travel but Russia is a huge place, so not unexpected.”

“We took the second ever Russian River Cruise trip in September 2019. It was an amazing experience and worth every penny. The time in both Moscow and St. Petersburg were well organized and included a good amount of free time. The additional stops during the cruise were each unique and offered a taste of the "real" Russia -- small villages, ancient cathedrals, ruins, and more. The cruise itself was a nice addition. The cabin was small and spartan, but the boat itself was not large so we had no complaints about the cabin. The food served was delicious and authentic. We were quite pleasantly surprised at the quality, quantity, and presentation. Growing up in the US during the Cold War, all we learned about Russia was from propaganda. It was wonderful to finally see it for ourselves. We loved every minute of it. I am deeply disappointed to see that the tour operator has already cancelled this itinerary. I've had so many people express excitement from our photos and reports and saying they can't wait to take the same trip. What a shame they won't now have that opportunity.”

“Just returned from the first departure of a new trip venturing to parts of Russia where foreign tourists are few and far between, travelling on sections of the Trans-Siberian route - but without the endurance test of days on end on a train.”

Travel Tips

  • Many travel companies within Russia offer a tour of the ‘Golden Ring’. This is a great option if you want to take in some of the gorgeous ancient cities just north of Moscow.
  • The Russians take their vodka very seriously. As a sign of respect, always drink your vodka straight, without ice or mixers. If finished with your drink, leave some vodka in your glass. Your host will almost always refill an empty glass.
  • Several sites and attractions are closed during the colder months. If visiting between December and March, be sure to research opening times in advance.
  • Want to really make the most of your trip? Brush up on Russian literature, music and history. Russians love talking about their culture with others.
  • Finding English speakers can be difficult outside prime tourist areas, so be sure to learn some basic greetings and phrases before your visit.
  • Same sex relationships are still not fully accepted in Russia. Try to avoid same sex PDA.
