Rare puppycanducruise Posted November 10, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I imagine your best bet would be a river cruise. Check out Avalon, Viking etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marco Posted November 10, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2013 We've done some cruises that called at St Petersburg that offered a day's excursion to Moscow. It left VERY early in the AM, you flew, it was pricy, and folks said it was tiring. A day in Moscow is not enough to see and appreciate the city, and unless you've been to St Petersburg several times, you miss all there is to see there. Most folks who've done it that i've talked to would not recommend the Moscow excursion if you're taking a ocean liner cruise calling at St Petersburg, but you're on a river cruise whereby you get to spend 3 or 4 days in Moscow......yes.

paul929207 Posted November 10, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 10, 2013 We took a river cruise from Moscow to St. Petersburg. It was a six day cruise plus four days on either end. Still did not have enough time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted November 10, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I would look at a river cruise as well. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamessemaj Posted November 10, 2013 #8 Share Posted November 10, 2013 You mention northern Europe so I assume you are interested in a sea cruise which would be on the Baltic Sea. Moscow is far inland, no sea cruises. As mentioned, excursions to Moscow are offered on the 2 day stops in St. Petersburg, but I wouldn't recommend it. I would suggest that a tour of Moscow would require a land visit or a river cruise. Both will require a visa which is waived for licensed tour group in St. Petersburg.

Talisker92 Posted November 11, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 11, 2013 We just returned from a Vantage river cruise from Moscow to St. Petersburg. We spent 3 day in a hotel in Moscow before getting on the ship. The story and pictures are on our website. We are always happy to answer any questions.

Tiggertastic Posted November 12, 2013 #11 Share Posted November 12, 2013 river cruises or most of the cruises that go to st petersburg for 2 nights do an excursion upto moscow - they fly you up there and stay overnight and fly back celebrity and NCL both did it when we did the baltics with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
