River cruses

 River cruises over Russia are very popular among foreign tourists.  Onboard of a comfortable vessel the tourist can enjoy their leisure time and have fun away from their mundane worries, and at the same time they have a good chance to see the country, its culture and history, and to see the life of Russian towns and villages with their own eyes.  MIR Travel Company is offering to our clients to take a tour from St. Petersburg to Moscow and back.  The whole cruise lasts for 11 or 12 days.  The vessel goes along the Neva River, crosses the Ladoga and Onega lakes, and passes Volga.  The tourists will have an opportunity to see many other Russian cities apart from the two capitals of Russia, Moscow and St. Petersburg, during the stops:  Uglich, Kostroma, Yaroslavl, Mandrogi, Kizhi, and Goritsi.  These cities once were the powerful centres of the surrounding regions and played a significant part in the history of Russia.  They preserve traditions and special beauty of Russian culture and hospitable and open-hearted people living here.  

We offer to you the convenient 4* vessels with full board and all types of entertainments:  music programs, dancing, introduction to Russian traditional arts and crafts during thematic stops, lectures on Russian history and modern day life of Russia.  Professional guides will make the cruise interesting for tourists of any nationality while exquisite services will allow the guests to relax and to receive lots of new impressions from the vacation.  

Another variant of river cruise is one day trip that may be a part of a longer cruise:  departure from St. Petersburg, travelling along the Neva River to the Onega Lake to the Kizhi Islands known for its unique museums of wooden architecture, or to the Ladoga Lake  to the legendary Valaam Islands with its old monastery and unique history and beauty of landscapes.
