About Cruises: Cruising Russian Waterways

Cruises In the Spotlight | More Topics |   from Linda Garrison River cruising is a perfect way to see parts of the world that are inaccessible to ocean-going ships. I just returned from a wonderful Viking River Cruise in Eastern Europe along the Danube from the Black Sea to Nuremberg. Two summers ago, I sailed the Russian Waterways between St. Petersburg and Moscow with Grand Circle Travel, and learned much about the Russian people and their culture. Join me on a look back at this terrific itinerary and cruise tour.   In the Spotlight Grand Circle Russian Waterways M/S Rossia CruiseTour Grand Circle Small Ship Cruises' M/S Rossia river ship sails a 16-day Russian Waterways cruise between St. Petersburg and Moscow, Russia. This article focuses on a tour of the cabins, deck areas, interior common areas, and dining facilities on the Grand Circle M/S Rossia.              More Topics All Leisure Group Buys Hebridean Princess Hebridean Island Cruises Seabourn Announces European Itineraries for 2010-2011 The Yachts of Seabourn Golden Princess Emerges from Dry Dock Princess Cruises Love to Dance?

Many of these are relatively unknown to North Americans and other Europeans. This map shows the itinerary and provides links to photos and information of the ports along the way.   Moscow - Capital City of Russia Moscow is a wonderful city to visit, and travelers on river ship cruise tours to St. Petersburg spend a few days in Moscow like I did with Grand Circle Small Ship Cruises. Moscow was our last port on the cruise tour, and we had about four days to see most of the highlights. We disembarked the ship and stayed in a hotel as part of our cruise tour, which was a good plan since river ships must dock about an hour from downtown.     Sponsored Links   Cats Photo Quiz Boy Cat or Girl -- Can You Figure it Out?
