Cruises from St Petersburg to Moscow

Image
  If Russia is, as Churchill claimed, ‘a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma’ there’s no better place to puzzle it out than aboard your luxury vessel on this cruise from Saint Petersburg to Moscow. The sprawling city of Moscow has been the epicentre of Russian politics, economics and history for over 800 years.

But there is far too much to see in just one day! Enjoy an extra day at leisure to explore the many layers of this iconic city. The Volga River town of Uglich has a fascinating, if not altogether happy history. Ivan the Terrible’s infant son Dmitry was hidden here after Ivan’s death – only to be killed seven years later, triggering a period Russians call ‘The Great Disturbance’.
