This Russia Cruise Special Offer saves you $500 per cabin. That's $250 per person on an 11 day all inclusive river cruise that tours to Volga river. You see many great cities along the way including Moscow and St. Petersburg.

With 8 million inhabitants, Russia's capital Moscow is one of the world's largest and most important cities. Your tour will touch up on all the major sites. Red Square with the imposing St. Basil's Cathedral, and GUM department store. The huge fortress or Kremlin, the seat of Russia's government, but also home to the ancient Czar Cannon and the gigantic 200-ton Czar Bell, both of which are the largest in the world. Equally impressive will be your tour of the unique Moscow metro, where several stations are world-class works of art. Don't miss a stroll down Arbat street, Moscow's popular pedestrian zone, where modern fashion stores stand next to old-world antique shops. Here, ladies can shop 'til they drop, while the guys enjoy some well-deserved R&R at one of the many open air cafes. No visit to Moscow is complete without a visit to the world-renowned Moscow circus, featuring acrobats, jugglers, high-wire artists, and fascinating performances of man and beast, working in tandem together. Sadly, as all good things must come to an end, so will your Russian river cruise, as you disembark and head on home with a suitcase full of memories.

As either the starting or ending point of our Volga cruises, St. Petersburg is the highlight of any visit to Russia. Founded in 1703 by Peter the Great, it was the capital of the country until 1918. Affectionately called the Venice of the North, St. Petersburg was built over 43 islands, linked by 65 rivers and canals. Thanks to its picturesque setting along the banks of the Neva River, its impressive architecture, and a young and vibrant population, St. Petersburg is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Your comprehensive sightseeing of St. Petersburg will feature all of the major attractions. From Peter and Paul's Fortress, to Saint Isaac's Cathedral, to the humongous Palace Square, and the 1,000-room Winter Palace of Catherine the Great. This is also home to her private, 350-room art collection, more commonly known as the Hermitage Museum.
