Delight in Luxury and Culture on the Viking Truvor River Cruise

Explore the largest country in the world with Viking Truvor's "Waterways of the Tsars" river cruise between St. Petersburg and Moscow. Despite the current political climate, Viking’s passengers are guaranteed an in-depth, comfortable introduction to the country. Built in 1987 for Soviet vacationers, the 204-passenger Truvor was renovated in 2013 to merge a muted Scandinavian sensibility with a nod to its Russian surroundings. The itinerary includes complimentary excursions in both St. Petersburg and Moscow, as well as a journey along rivers, canals and lakes, with scenery ranging from wild to suburban. Highlights include a stop at remote Kizhi Island and the 'Golden Ring' city of Uglich, where passengers enjoy homemade moonshine and conversation in a local resident’s home. Viking has an edge in staff and programming, with three Russian tour escorts providing expert insight on the country’s history and present. Passengers who wish to explore independently can do so with free bus transportation and detailed instructions on how to access the cities' subway systems.
