Emerald Waterways Opens Booking For 2021 Russian River Cruise Season

Itineraries Feature Newly Chartered Ship and an Extra Day in St. Petersburg

Emerald Waterways river cruise line has opened its books on the 2021 Russian river cruise season. Sailings will feature a newly chartered river-ship, the recently refurbished MS Nizhny Novgorod, built specifically to sail Russia’s waterways including Europe’s longest river, the Volga. Featuring two itineraries, sailings onboard the MS Nizhny Novgorod begin in May 2021 and are available for booking now. Details and pricing are available in the newly launched brochure available for download.

The 11-day Imperial Charms of Russia river cruise allows guests to discover both traditional villages and vibrant cities as they sail from St. Petersburg to Moscow. Highlights include a guided tour of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed city of St. Petersburg, a Shashlik lunch in the picturesque village of Mandrogi, a visit to the Monastery of St. Cyril on the White Lake, and a guided tour of Moscow exploring the iconic Kremlin Grounds. New for 2021, guests can choose the reverse 12-day itinerary for an extra day in St. Petersburg at the end of the sailing, which allows for a visit to Peterhof to take in its jaw-dropping collection of gilded fountains and picturesque canals.
