Russia's two most important cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg, are featured on sailings that combine the Volga River, Moscow Canal and other waterways. In Moscow, sightseeing excursions head to the immense Red Square, which is bordered by the colorful onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral and the elegant 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 River 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 that was constructed without the use of a single nail.
Volga River cruises are typically part of longer itineraries that include hotel stays. River cruise operators are able to negotiate low group rates on hotels and transportation, passing the savings on to you. And with so much included in one price, Volga cruises are easy to budget.
