About Ivan Expertise Russian visa and transportation, places to stay and to go.
Experience I?m originally from St.Pete, but live now in Moscow. Mostly I could advice you about those two cities, but some tips about Caucasus, Russian North and Golden Ring you may find useful too, cause I have travel there a lot in last few years. Also feel free to ask me ?technical? Q?s about visa and registration and so on?
Question We are interested in seeing some of Russia. Has anyone taken a Viking River Cruise? I know there was an article regarding them in ITN last year, but I am looking for other's experiences. Were the 90 sq. ft. cabins cramped? How was the food? Were you on the boat too long? How were the shore excursions? Was it a good way to get a feel for Russia? Would you do it again knowing what you know now? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Answer Sorry, don't know much of this. All I heard that it's well developed part of industry, good ships, expensive, most of people are from aboard if the cruise in for foreign travelers. Personally, I was on 2 cruises Moscow -Rostov-on-Don - Moscow and St.Pete – Kishi – Valaam – St.Pete. Truly this is great way to feel the country.
