How to choose the right ship

Couple of tips that will help you to choose the ship are listed below, but for a real insight from some of the best specialists on Russian cruises in the industry you should give us a call. We offer you the widest selection of ships from budget 3-star vessels to comfortable 4-star and the most luxurious 5-star ships, and we will help you choose that right cruise ship that suites you and your budget.

Cruise programs

3-star ships usually do not include wine in the program price, but 4 and 5-star ships do. Also, different ships will have slightly different programs. For example, our MS Tolstoi program will includes a stay in hotels in Moscow and St. Petersburg. If you prefer to unpack only once then you may prefer another program, but if you prefer to have more time in Moscow and St. Petersburg to explore the city on your own this program might be the right one for you.

When were renovations made

A 5-star ship undergoes significant improvements for each sailing season. A 4-star vessel gets upgraded every few years and a 3-star ship sees renovations every 4 to 7 years. Ships that have been renovated more recently will usually tend to cost slightly more.

Cabin size

Cabin size varies from ship to ship, but, generally speaking, the higher the class of the ship, the larger is the cabin space. For example, on a three star cruise, the average space of main deck cabin is 80 square feet and 170 square feet for suite. On a 5-star ship, the average main deck space is 100 square feet and suites will have up to 300 square feet.
