Our newest Russian River CruiseTour follows the legendary Volga from Moscow into the heart of southern Russia for an in-depth look at places you can only truly appreciate by river. You'll cruise to Uglich and the "Golden Ring" cities of Kostroma ... call on Kazan, capital of colorful Tatarstan ... and trace Lenin's roots in his hometown of Ulyanovsk. Your cruise culminates in Volgograd, once known as Stalingrad and site of an epic World War II battle that marked a turning point in Russia's fight against the Nazis. Then, disembark and fly to Moscow for a two-night hotel stay.Along the way, you'll meet today's Russians-from veterans of World War II who remember the Stalingrad victory firsthand to students who are Russia's future. And to expand your journey into an epic voyage from the Black Sea to the Baltic, add our optional extensions to beautiful St. Petersburg, Russia and the Ukrainian gem of Odessa. Join us, and forever change the way you see "Mother Russia."
