Since
the reign of Peter the Great, sailing the waterways of Russia was a
regular feature of the lives of the Romanovs. The imperial yacht
Standart, of Nicholas II, was so elegant and so well appointed that she
was the envy of every monarch in Europe.
In
keeping with this grand tradition, Exeter International’s Waterways of
the Tsars program allows guests to explore the ancient villages of
rural Russia as the Romanovs did, in complete luxury and comfort.
Envision enjoying this voyage from the deck of a fabulous river cruise
ship as it glides through the lakes, rivers and canals that connect
Moscow and St. Petersburg. It’s twilight on the sun deck and the
fairytale villages of Russia are but feet from your window. Your
intimate vessel hosts less than 115 guests. All of your meals are
included onboard and each is carefully planned from a varied menu of
Russian and European recipes. With an extremely attentive and friendly
staff to serve you, your onboard experience will be fascinating, yet
relaxing. When you choose to join our Waterways of the Tsars river
cruise, you get much more than just a cruise. You will be treated to a
VIP small group-touring program before and after your cruise. It’s the
best of both worlds- a skilled, Exeter International guide to show you
the hidden secrets of both Moscow and St. Petersburg, while staying in
a deluxe hotel in the center of the city. This journey is the perfect
way to experience all that Russia has to offer.
