Ceremonial St. Petersburg
The granite embankments of the Neva River, lined with palaces and connected by grand bascule bridges, are the formal face of St. Petersburg, developed over three centuries to give some of the greatest architectural panoramas in the world.
This trip covers the main central section of the Greater Neva River, cruising in a circle along both banks of the river to give fantastic views of St. Petersburg's greatest landmarks, including the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Winter Palace, the Rostral Columns and the Old Stock Exchange on Vasilyevsky Island, the Bronze Horseman, St. Isaac's Cathedral, the Admiralty, the Summer Garden and Summer Palace of Peter I, and, at the eastern end of the trip, Smolny Cathedral.
