City of the Tsars cruise

City of the Tsars
10 nights on Seven Seas Voyager

St. Petersburg was the capital of the Russian Empire for over 200 years. Peter the Great's "Window on Europe" is known as Russia's artistic and intellectual center. Tour the many cathedrals, including St. Isaac's Cathedral, with floors of different-colored marble and a remarkable array of frescoes; and the iconic Church of the Savior of the Spilled Blood. Noteworthy historic sites include The Peter and Paul Fortress, the first edifice built in the city and final resting place of the Romanovs; and, further afield, the remarkable Peterhof palace.

For a cultural perspective, take in a ballet and the world-class Hermitage Museum. To complete your Russian experience, take a day trip to Moscow or a half-day trip to Catherine's Palace in the countryside
