River cruises in Russia

There is an excellent way of getting to know Russia - river cruises. They are very popular as there are a lot of big rivers in Russia and you have plenty of choice.

You can go on a wide range of river cruises, from one-day or three-day trips to much longer ones. The most interesting excursions leave from the Northern River Station in Moscow, and then travel on to different parts of Russia from there. You can go on a tour of the northern lakes Ladoga and Onega, where you will visit the magnificent Kizhi Museum-Preserve of Wooden Folk Architecture, Valaam Island with its architectural monuments dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, and a well-known monastery founded by the inhabitants of Novgorod in the 14th century.

You can also go on a tour of Russia's greatest river, the Volga, or on a shorter tour just to the old Russian city of Uglich and back. You could even journey all the way from Moscow to Astrakhan on a large and comfortable motorized ship, with stops for excursions into the cities of Ко stroma, Samara, Yaroslavl, Saratov and Nizhniy Novgorod, amongst others.

River cruise in Russia will be a fantastic experience so we would highly recommend it for you!
