TRAVEL WITH RUSSIANS

​Exclusive: No other Russia cruise offers the chance to travel with English-speaking Russians eager ​and anxious to know you. 
SMALL GROUP TOURING
OFF THE BEATEN PATH:  Your small group of 12-15 visit villagers' homes, shop where unexpected treasures are found, and find uncommon adventures such as happening upon a wedding.

PERSONAL TOUR GUIDES

Your Russian counselor is your amazing translator/teacher/guide from start to finish - total continuity. Your counselor helps you:
1. Meet and talk with Russians on the ship and shore.
2. Find out-of-the-way spots to explore.
3. You can't get this with "herd" mentality tours -- or they charge extra.
 
4. It's all included on our ship.

World Class ENTERTAINers

The Bolshoi Theatre closes in the summer, but its great performers join our ship entertainment troupe. You are treated to the highest quality professional performances: the best of folk and classical musicians. Unmatched on any ship in the world -- achieved UNESCO Award status.

FREE ON-BOARD PROGRAMS

Join cultural programs of language lessons, Russian cooking, matryoshka painting, balalaika lessons, Russian tsarist and commissar history, Pushkin fairy tales, shopping counsel, women's club, and more . . .

HUMANITARIAN stops

You can  leave Russia better off from you having been there at favorite stops at orphanages or pensioner homes where many of our Americans bring small gifts for those in need.  They always reward us with music and friendships that leave a sweetness found no other way. 

Sites & Sights

Our on-board program includes historic backgrounds of the "sites"  so you'll get full appreciation of the "sights" that thrill.
Enjoy this slide show of some of the magnificent sites and sights you'll witness.
