Golden Ring Cruise
Recently, river cruises from Moscow are increasingly popular. These are boat trips on navigable rivers of Russia. Traveling by boat is so unusual and very romantic.
Very popular are pilgrimage tours to Kizhi, Valaam, caviar to Astrakhan, Odessa, Samara, as well as the so-called Golden Ring of Russia. You can go for two or three days or a week or more. It all depends on your desire, free time and the thickness of your wallet. At the disposal of travelers comfortable two, three and even four deck ships with cabins for two to four people or apartments consisting of two rooms - a living room and a bedroom.
If you choose a tour, say, to Astrakhan or Odessa, it means that the ship will rarely stop and stay in ports for a short time. You will have to enjoy the local beauty from the deck. If the cultural program is not stipulated in the contract, then you will have to entertain yourself. In this case, it is good to travel with a large and noisy company. Of course, at your disposal there will be sun loungers, a cinema or anything else (this depends on the level and class of the ship).
It is worth bearing in mind that those who travel alone, if the weather deteriorates, and sunbathing will not succeed, or they will show a film that you have already watched ten times, boredom and monotony will finally finish you off for a week of travel. So on such river cruises in Tver, you should go with family or friends, or consider options with an entertainment program (such as "Saleslag"), then you will not be bored.
Tourist trips along the Golden Ring are more popular. The route passes through unique places of historical and cultural significance. The cruise program includes a visit to such ancient Russian cities as Uglich, Rybinsk, Tutaev, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ples, Murom. You will see white-stone temples of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, tent-type buildings of the sixteenth century, ancient masterpieces of Russian painting. Every day the ship stops, you with a guide go ashore and go on excursions. Usually there is a day to see the sights of one city. And if you are particularly interested in a particular city, you can go and stay for a few days. In such a trip, even one will not be bored, and local attractions will leave a lot of impressions.
In order not to spoil your vacation and get only a pleasant experience, if you are going on a river cruise for the first time, make sure that you do not suffer from seasickness. Just in case, take with you special tablets for motion sickness. If it turns out that you are susceptible to this ailment, you better give up the trip than lie in your cabin all the way.
Having finally found out that you do not have seasickness, you can safely go on cruises to St. Petersburg. You will be waiting for the most famous sights of the northern capital.
