Russia's two largest cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg, are featured on sailings
that combine the Volga River, Moscow Canal and other waterways. In Moscow, visit
the immense Red Square, which is bordered by colorful onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral
and the stylish 19th-century facade of the GUM department store. Highlights of
St. Petersburg, Russia's cultural capital, include the world-famous Hermitage museum
and the Peter and Paul Fortress.
Many Volga cruises visit Uglich, one of Russia's oldest towns, and Volgograd,
formerly called Stalingrad and the site of one of the bloodiest battles of
World War II. See the unique wooden architecture of Kizhi Island, including
a cathedral of 22 domes constructed without the use of a single nail.
Volga River cruises typically are part of longer itineraries that include hotel stays.
They offer considerable savings over traveling the same itinerary on your own,
because river cruise operators are able to negotiate low group rates on hotels,
transportation and sightseeing excursions, passing the savings on to you. With
so much included in one price, Volga cruises are easy to budget.
