  • Luxury cruise in Russia

 - Vashe zdorovie ! Your cruise will certainly begin with these words for a surreal journey from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Board on a luxury ship in line with the proverbial Russian hospitality, and enjoy these few days of relaxation and discovery. The cruise will lead you to historic monuments that have shaped the Russian nation, such as the bulb-capped monasteries on the island of Kizhi , the colorful facades in Goritzy and an infinity of imperial palaces.

To enrich this cruise, we added a few nights in luxury hotels in the capital Moscow and in St. Petersburg. In Moscow, you can stroll around the Red Square, admire the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour and the monumental Kremlin, while in the City of the Tsars, some districts appear frozen in time,in the grandeur of the gilded palaces that have flourished under the Romanovs  ruling. Tsarskoie Selo still resonates with the delicate tunes played on the balalaika in front of the imperial family .. How can you resist this trip, one of the most appealing we have at Uniktour!
