★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Welcome aboard MS VOLGA DREAMThere is no cruise like the Volga cruise. No cruise that places you so completely inanother place and time. Europe's longest and largest river stretches from Ivan theTerrible to Peter the Great to Catherine the Great, and on into today, where livealong Russia's central artery looks very much like it always has – the churches, thevillages, the people, comprising scenes from an old painting you may swear youhave seen in a gallery.

The advent of the boutique VOLGA DREAM reveals the tsarist-era luxury andprovides superior service, installing the ship as the class of the waterway. With 60crewmembers and a capacity for just over 100 passengers, the ship has the lowestpassenger-to-crew ratio on the river. With so few guests amid the ship’s spaciousarrangement, it feels like sailing aboard a private yacht. You’ll find no hassledisembarking at the various ports of call, no delays at mealtime.

Russia's first luxury riverboat, featuring the latest technology and superior service,the 314-foot VOLGA DREAM offers what no other Volga ship can: cosmopolitancomfort amid the greater rural envisions.

Moscow – St. PetersburgThrough a dizzying array of canals andlocks built by the Soviets, the Volga is nowthe linchpin of a single water system linkingMoscow and St. Petersburg to fiveseparate seas. In partially visible townsflooded by the Soviets, cathedrals rise fromwater. Medieval Orthodox monasteries arestill in use on the riverbanks. Revealing the«real Russia», a cruise down the VolgaRiver offers a rare glimpse into Russia’scolorful past and enterprising future.
