June 26– July 8, 2008

Embark on a cultural odyssey from the onion domes of Moscow to the palaces of St. Petersburg on the MS Repin, a floating hotel that combines comfortable accommodations and Old World service.  As you cruise the Volga, Neva, and Svir Rivers, you’ll visit four UNESCO World Heritage  sites—the Kremlin and Red Square, the historic center of Yaroslavl, Kizhi Pogost, and the historic center of St. Petersburg.  In addition, you’ll explore not only Russia’s largest cities, but also small towns along the way, giving you a better idea of the breadth of Russian culture and tradition.
