UNPACK ONCE
If you are
looking
for a relaxing getaway and a
cultural experience than a river cruise is an ideal option. However, if
you are after independence go on
a land tour. A Land tour gives you freedom to
choose each day whereas a cruise goes by a set
itinerary. There are guides
available. On a cruise it will be a group guide, If you go on a land
tour of Moscow and St Petersburg, you will need to take an overnight
train from one capital to another or a flight. When you go on a cruise,
you will unpack only once and your cruise will take you to there.
One
of the major advantages of cruises is that they also take you
to the ancient towns of the Golden Ring on the way from Moscow to
St. Petersburg. This
service can be added to your land
tour as most of these ancient towns can be reached by car
from Moscow.

Land or Water?
However, this will drive up the
price of your land
tour. In short, if you are
looking for great company, prefer to see
other destinations in a hassle free comfortable way,
if
you are
interested in spending more days in Russia while not spending too
much money the cruise is an ideal choice.
Russian river
cruises have become one of the most popular ways of travel in
Russia for westerners.
However, if you have fewer days, but need to have more freedom to
explore Moscow and St.
Petersburg an escorted land tour is better suited. A combination of the
two is ideal
