This is your opportunity to travel the great Volga River in a manner befitting the tsars of old.
From grand Moscow, along the wide sandy banks of the Volga, to magnificent St. Petersburg, a Russian river cruise offers variety and splendour on a scale you won’t encounter anywhere else.
In this vast and impressive land, no two destinations are ever alike, and you’ll find that your experience can change utterly in the space of a moment.
Not only will you be escorted to all the must-see landmarks, a Russian river cruise will let you discover the wondrous hidden gems, not accessible to other travellers.
Shake hands with a cosmonaut, watch as ballerinas interpret their time-honoured art, tour the royal gardens of the palace of Catherine the Great, and view the towering spires of the Kremlin.
When you’re not out and about absorbing the marvels of the region, you can look forward to being ensconced in the luxury of a truly unique floating hotel, with world-class dining, arranged on-board events, and facilities that are quite simply in another class.
The 15 Day Imperial Jewels of Russia river cruise will take you along the mighty Volga and charming Svir rivers, past timeless rural villages and impressive, bustling metropolises. A host of treasures awaits you.
Floating on beautiful Lake Onega cannot prepare you for the dazzling site of the Kizhi Island’s Church of the Transfiguration. Visit the citadel upon the shore at the Gold Ring city of Uglich.
Let the bold architecture of St Petersburg wash over you as you walk its canals at sunset. And be mesmerised by the sheer scale and grandeur of Moscow’s greatest landmarks.
Scenic Freechoice is a collection of exciting escorted activities for you to choose from, at whatever pace suits you.
Pick the adventures that appeal to your interests or energy levels.
You’ll find that your options over the course of your journey cover the full spectrum of activities, from enjoying a bit of Shashlik, a traditional meat delicacy, one day, to taking in a thousand years of history at the world-famous State Tretyakov gallery.
Whatever you choose to do, its likely to be a truly enthralling experience.
Scenic Enrich experiences provide you with special handcrafted moments, curated by Scenic, that are simply inaccessible to the ordinary traveller.
As varied as they are incredible, you can look forward to unique moments like meeting a cosmonaut and discovering some of the behind-the-scenes secrets of the space race.
Or you could spend time watching ballerinas perform the time-honoured craft that has been so integral to Russian culture down the centuries.
Later, you’ll join up with your new Scenic companions for a special lunch, arranged exclusively for you. The event is a Scenic Enrich experience, a specially moment, handcrafted for your benefit.
You’ll be seated in the old-world wooden ‘Podvorie’ restaurant and, as you savour traditional Russian cuisine, you’ll get to enjoy home-grown wine, produced by the owner himself.
In the evening you’ll be carried away to another exclusive Scenic Enrich event, this time to the glorious Palace of Prince Vladimir.
There, in a front row seat, glass in hand, you’ll get to enjoy an exclusive concert, where ballerinas dance for your enjoyment, accompanied by a magnificent live orchestra.
It’s the perfect finale to a great day, and tomorrow the wonder begins anew.
