To experience Russia only by land is to bypass a major part of its character. Discover the soul of Russia along the shores of the Volga. Follow the path Peter the Great took and sail from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Experience these legendary cities rich in culture, tradition and royalty. And as you travel along the river, discover another side of Russia with its remote forested islands, vast lakes, tiny summer houses, quaint lifestyles and pastoral landscapes. On your journey, meet the people who express the true soul of this proud country.
