Smithsonian Journeys/Russian River 7-5-05

[andrewjv]

I have received a brochure from Collette Vacations about a

Smithsonian Journeys cruise using the Uniworld Litvinov and going

from Moscow to Saint Petersburgh. It is around $ 7161 outside

cabin for a single person including air from my hometown, baggage

and transfers.

 

The reason it is so different from the uniworld price is that it is a

Smithsonian tour with 15 to 20 talks and almost all of the shore excursions

are pre-booked instead of having to pay for them on board.

 

Has anyone ever been on a Smithsonian Journey Trip?

 

I could book the same cruise from Uniworld but I suspect it wouldn't

include the lectures and pre-paid shore excursions.
