tips & insights
Volga cruise definition
Volga cruises sail on Russia's largest waterway, which stretches from the Baltic Sea to the Black or Caspian Sea. It comprises a vast network of rivers (including the Volga) connected by lakes, canals, and locks.
Appeal
The more a traveler is interested in history and cultures, the more he will relish a Volga cruise.
Volga cruise routes
There are two basic routes (each with a variety of itineraries offered by an array of cruise organizations). One route lies north, the other south of Moscow.

Most popular and interesting route.
