RIVER NAVIGATION 2025 NEWS

For those who love river travel, have already been on several cruises and would like to discover new cities and tourist routes, Vodohod offers new destinations to visit during cruises and new guided tours for 2025.

MARIINSKY POSAD – CHUVASH CITY WITH MARI ROOTS

A picturesque stop in Mariinsky Posad will allow you to discover new beauties of the Volga River. In this cozy town with a rich history and unique atmosphere, everything is at hand.

TO VELIKY NOVGOROD AND VYBORG ON THE SHIP RUS

For the guests of the ship Rus, Vodohod offers the “Cruise +” program with additional excursions to Vyborg and Veliky Novgorod. Optional bus tours can be arranged before or after the selected cruise with departure from and/or arrival in St. Petersburg.

GROZNY, MAKHACHKALA, MURMANSK, TERIBERKA – MULTIMODAL TRIPS BY VODOHOD

Vodohod is actively developing the idea of multimodal tours, when a cruise can be easily combined with other means of transport and tour services. The best combination of a river cruise and a rich land tour of varying duration allows you to visit locations remote from river routes without additional costs or organizational issues.

While your ship is anchored in a certain city, you can go for a few days by land transport to other cities or regions.

For example, during the ship’s stay in Astrakhan, you can go to the capital of the Chechen Republic, Grozny, for a couple of days, or visit ancient cities of Dagestan – Makhachkala and Derbent.

A trip to the North Caucasus can be made as part of some cruises in August and September.

Vodohod offers to visit “the edge of the world” and feel the breath of the Arctic Ocean as part of the cruise tour “To Meet the Arctic”. During the cruise from St. Petersburg, you will have not only classic stops in Karelia, but also a 4-day tour on the deluxe train Arktika to the Hero City Murmansk and the village of Teriberka.

SOLOVETSKY ISLANDS FOR VODOHOD.LIGHT CLASS MOTORSHIPS

Some cruises on the ships Konstantin Fedin or Kronstadt include a visit to the Solovetsky Islands as part of an additional excursion program. You can visit the amazing sites of the archipelago in 2 days and go on an excursion to the famous Solovetsky Kremlin and the mysterious Zayatsky Island.

Also, guests of the "Vodohod.Light" class ships during cruises with departure from or arrival in St. Petersburg can choose one or several additional options: a country trip to Gatchina or Tsarskoye Selo, to Kronstadt or Peterhof, a boat ride along the rivers and canals of St. Petersburg, or a bus tour “Night St. Petersburg”.

River navigation will start in only a little more than a month, so join the Vodohod river trips and discover Russia from a new angle, from the water!
