Hello, I am interested in a river cruise. I would like to know what cruises are more popular from Moscow?

Klaus, the most popular route is from Moscow to St Petersburg or vice-versa. This is a 12 day cruise where you spend few days in Moscow and couple of days in St Pete and one day in each Golden Ring town that your ship meets along the way.

Nizhny Novgorod and Volga cruise in general are really cool too! I enjoyed the tour Nizhny's Kremlin even more than Moscow's. Can you tell me more about Volga cruises and how much time can I actually spend in cities along the way. What is there to see? I haven't been lower than Nizhny and would like to know more!
Thanks!

There's a few places to see below Niznhy Novgorod, along the Moscow - Astrakhan route or vice versa. There's a couple of days in Astrakhan, one each in Volgograd, Saratov, Samara, Kazan, Cheboksary. Then it goes to Niznhy Novgorod, a couple of towns in the Golden Ring, and a couple of days in Moscow. You can check out some info on these places here: http://www.allrussiacruises.com/destinations/

Klaus, some of the cruises are organized specifically for German customers. It is done this way to ensure that you don't get stuck with people who speak language that you don't understand. This could ruin your travel experience. So, there are English-speaking cruises, German-speaking cruises, french-speaking cruises, Spanish-speaking cruises and Russian-speaking cruises. Next season we want to work on Chinese-speaking cruises too.

The crew will speak some English, but don't worry, there will be helpful interpreters on board to make sure that you can always communicate with the crew members.

People travel to Russia to see a new world, filled with excitement, adventure, nature, art and architecture, and of course history! Since Russia is so large, it is difficult to see everything Russia has to offer in a short week or even two weeks. However, by taking a cruise around the cities that suit your particular interests, you can see more in the short time span you have. The following lists and details some of the great opportunities we can offer you in the form of Russian river cruises:
