“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 back from this very enjoyable trip. So interesting to see parts of Russia not on the usual tourist trail and experience the Trans-Siberian railway without spending multiple days and nights on the train. So few tourists, other than Russians, outside of Moscow, which was good.”
