The Cruise

See the swirling onion domes and stout towers of Moscow’s Red Square. Share stories at the kitchen table of an Uglich family. Savour Russian caviar with your blini pancakes. Soak up the steam in a traditional banya in riverside Mandrogy village. Envision Peter the Great luxuriating in massive Peterhof Palace, then see how multiple families shared living space at a Soviet-era kommunalka. From Moscow to St. Petersburg, this 13-day voyage reveals the real Russia as never before.

Comment:

Jane Moggridge, General Manager Marketing and Communications, commented: “Russia is where Viking started 21 years ago and we firmly believe no one delivers a better experience in this region than Viking. We’ve had very strong sales for Russia this year for the 2019 season so we expect this offer to sell out fast. If you have any guests interested in Russia now is the time to book.”

All of Viking’s river cruise itineraries include:

  • All onboard meals
  • Premium wine and beer with lunch and dinner
  • A free shore excursion in every port
