Exceptional itinerary

Always my dream to visit Russia and go to Catherine’s palace

And to see the “amber room “

I have read about the amber room extensively and it’s history

It was so exciting for me to view the real thing

The visit to Peterof Palace and tour of countryside was incredible made more so by the exceptional guides on our tours

The highlight was Mandroy viewing the craftsmanship in each building was pure joy

We could’ve spent more time browsing the village

Each stop on our itinerary was packed with cultural and historical knowledge our guides were informative and and brought the history to life.

Life on the ship was enhanced by our tour guides lectures as we cruised along

The food and service were excellent I tried some of the local Russian food and enjoyed it very much.

Our market visit, school visit added depth and appreciation of Russian culture

The home visit luncheon was fun touring our hostesses garden and sharing lunch with vodka toasts plus the bus tour in local neighborhood was great

Moscow subway trip was a pleasure like touring a beautiful museum fine art, beautiful chandeliers and incredibly polite passengers

Another Viking trip of a lifetime
