Few vacations are able to offer such a culturally rich experience as a Russian river cruise. Russian river cruises are a mesmerizing way to experience ports that large cruise ships simply cannot reach. These cruises go deep into the heart of Russia, bringing you to world-famous cities. The one-of-a-kind, intimate atmosphere onboard these ships make it much more possible to enjoy Russian culture as you never have before. Plus, river cruise lines have fabulous, regionally-inspired cuisine, matched perfectly by an attentive and well-trained staff.
A Russian river cruise primarily takes place on the Volga and Svir Rivers and may extend into the Neva River or Moscow Canal. Ports of call might include Moscow, Uglich, Yaroslavl, St. Petersburg, and more. Along the way are museums, rural country sides, churches, markets, and villages. Take in the exiting vibrance of Moscow’s Red Square. Sail against a backdrop of colorful onion-domed churches. Discover the tale behind Church of St. Dmitry on the Blood. Spend a day in an authentic Russian village and enjoy a traditional shashlik lunch. The possibilities of immersing yourself in Russian culture are endless.
Russian river cruises are typically 7- to 12-nights in length. Russia is famous for being very cold during the winter. It can also get fairly hot during the summer. The best time to visit Russia is during the spring, when temperatures are generally warm enough to enjoy sightseeing without needing to bundle up, but also without having to walk around in the blistering heat.

Another point of interest worth checking out is the beautiful architecture of Moscow’s metro system.

Escorted Tours
An escorted tour includes a professional guide, as opposed to being an independent (or self-guided) tour. Some escorted tour operators include a limited amount of time for guests to explore on their own, while others have tours that are completely escorted. Typically, just about your entire itinerary is included and planned for in an escorted tour package. You don't have to worry about what you're going to see and don't have to make reservations (for each component of the trip) with multiple tour operators - this option allows for you to just leave it to the professionals and enjoy yourself.
Depending on the tour operator, as well as on the specific tour, some tours are private (just you and your traveling companions, if you have any) while others are with other travelers that booked the same tour. In the latter case, some tour operators offer small groups (which tend to be more expensive, but also more intimate and exclusive) while some have larger groups that travel together (which provides a very social atmosphere, as you can meet many other people).

Independent Travel
Also referred to as self-guided travel, independent travel gives you the freedom to do things at your own pace. You don't have a guide with you like you would on an escorted tour, but you can make your own schedule and choose your own itinerary.
This option is usually significantly less expensive than an escorted tour that includes similar components; however, cost and quality simply depends on the tour you select as both budget and luxury tour operators offer this type of travel.
Founded in 1981, Gate 1 Travel offers escorted tours, European river cruises, independent vacations and customized international vacation packages for less. Our extra discounts on their travel packages and tour packages provide exceptional value.
