VIKING RIVER CRUISE
WATERWAYS OF THE TSARS
This was a holiday which included some unforgettable experiences; not only in St Petersburg and Moscow, but also in places like the delightful Yaroslav and Uglich which we visited en route. But there were some disappointing elements too. Overall we thought the cruise provided relatively poor value for money. Although some of the cruising along the Volga, particularly on the approach to Moscow, was very enjoyable more of it, near to St Petersburg, was monotonous with little to see other than miles and miles of unchanging birch forest. The fare we paid would have allowed us instead to stay in very good St Petersburg and Moscow hotels and travel between the cities on the vary fast (4 hour) express train.
Cabin Review
Very small for a suite and with poor design (an unnaccountably huge bathroom at the expense of a small sitting area. Balcony considerably smaller than suggested by the brochure. But position of the suite at the front of the boat was an advantage and there was access to the front.
