A Terrific Tour We enjoyed the terrific international mix of individuals on the tour. Not only were the crew and local guides welcoming and informative, but the sites chosen were well-planned and interesting. Unlike other cruise lines, we appreciated the lack of bombardment of brochures, emails, and telephone calls. All in all, a wonderful experience.

Fantastic Trip I took this cruise with my 82 year old mother. The experience was once in a lifetime! The guides were vey knowledgeable; the service on the boat was impeccable! The activity options on the boat were plentiful. The food was superb, like eating at a five-star restaurant every night. The tours in Moscow and St. Petersburg were slightly strenuous for my mom (it was hot in Moscow, over 85 degrees), but everyone in the group kind of "adopted" her and pointed out chairs for her to sit down in, etc. I would (and have!) recommend this cruise.

Experience of a lifetime Great staff, wonderful guides, outstanding lecturer, and delicious food. I would recommend Volga Dream to anyone who wants to see the real Russia.

A five star plus holiday We enjoyed every single minute of the holiday the hotels were situated centrally we could walk around easily being able to walk into the square where the Hermitage was just around the corner from hotel was amazing the boat was a lovely experience the staff were very attentive food was excellent trips from the boat very interesting good guides The Kremlin was so interesting Thank you for a wonderfull experience

Russian tour If coming from West Coast or further plan an extra day before tour starts to give yourself time to adjust. First day program in Moscow is very intense. Our guide in Moscow was knowledgeable but too strict, insisting we listen to her and stand right next to her at all times, giving almost no time for photos or questions. Staff on board were exceptional particularly our cruise director, Olga. I loved the boat, all wood paneling and old world. Food plentiful and delicious. Marvelous guide, Natasha, in St. Petersburg. Night tour of Moscow was not worth doing. However, performance in St. Petersburg was worth every penny, but be prepared to fight for your unassigned seats. Overall, a wonderful trip I would recommend to anyone.
