Classic Programs

Most of Russia's greatest cities, including its both beautiful capitals Moscow and St Petersburg, stand on the banks of the ancient waterway that connects the Baltic Sea with the Black Sea. The Volga River makes up the largest part of this waterway and the series of lakes interconnected with man-made canals makes up the rest. This intricate network of canals connects Moscow and St Petersburg to five different seas and creates a unique opportunity for a journey across Russia and Eurasia from north to South on a river ship.

Each summer, which lasts in Russia roughly from May to October, a fleet of relatively small ships, which large enough to accommodate 200+ passengers and about 100 crew members, but are still small enough to pass through the narrow passages of the canals, travel from Moscow to St Petersburg on the Baltic Sea, then back from St Petersburg to Moscow and from Moscow to Astrakhan on the Black Sea. Each day, they stop at a new destination, many of which are hard to reach by land, giving you a unique chance to explore Russia's past, her rich history and traditions.
