Discover the splendors of Imperial Russia aboard the ms Nikolay Chernyshevsky,** exclusively chartered for Vantage passengers.

You'll cruise from St. Petersburg to Moscow (or in reverse), enjoying extended stays in both of these fascinating cities. With comprehensive included sightseeing, you’ll explore the Kremlin’s 900 years of architectural treasures; laugh and marvel at a performance of the legendary Moscow Circus; stroll tiny Kizhi Island to see some of Russia’s most extraordinary rural architecture; visit St. Petersburg’s incredible Hermitage Museum; and view the Grand Cascade at Petrodvorets. And in between, you'll cruise Europe's longest river, the mighty Volga, through the lovely Russian countryside, visiting villages where time seems to stand still. What's more, you'll experience the culture and meet the people of Russia with Vantage's exclusive "Cultural Connections."

** If you have cruised before in Europe aboard one of Vantage's own Deluxe River Ships, please be aware that cruising in Russia is a more "basic" experience.

When you reserve this 16-day Russian river cruise with Vantage, you’ll enjoy 22 included sightseeing tours and a host of Cultural Connections. A Moscow city tour, a visit to the Tretyakov Art Gallery, a walking tour of Goritsy with a visit to the majestic Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery, and a Russian barbeque lunch are just some of the other Highlights you’ll experience on this comprehensive Russian riverboat cruise. While river cruising is all the rage among today’s savvy travellers, a Russian river cruise is still a novelty for most. Reserve now and be among the first to take this truly unique journey!
