GREAT pictures, Baychilla. As much as we love Crystal, that may be the tipping point. We remember how great it was to be able to dock IN Shanghai on the Symphony, when other ships (including the Serenity) would have to dock way outside town. The jewel of this trip is clearly St. Petersburg.

Do you recall if any people on your ship got their own visas so they could walk around on their own? When you're docked that close it would appear to be tempting. I do note that on the Seabourn site it does say "VX VISA REQUIRED," which may be the difference between ships that dock at the far port and in town.

Thanks!!!

Where does the Quest or that size ship tend to dock? And, if it is in the city, is there any significant difference than the port further away?

Thinking about booking that instead of Crystal, which has been my line of choice.

Thanks!
