You can use your cell phone while in Moscow and St. Petersburg, however. And you can use one of numerous internet cafes too.

Tip: if you buy a local sim card you can save money on calls in Russia. International calls will cost about the same as calls made in roaming ($2-3 a minute). Ask your cruise director if you want to purchase a local sim card.
