Welcome to Russia
To us, Russia and the city of St. Petersburg, was certainly the highlight of the cruise. Being in the n/w corner of the huge country we only got to see a really tiny portion of the country so there is no way to even begin to consider what the rest of it is like. This trip was in 2014 when all the cruise lines were going there.
We had just one stop in St Petersburg for two full days.
