Built to navigate the waterways of Russia, your traditional river cruise ship comprises four generously sized decks with plenty of space for relaxing, dining and enjoying the views. Admire the spectacular sunsets and ever-changing riverside scenery from the Sun Deck, where there are plenty of outdoor chairs and sun loungers for you to unwind in comfort. After a day’s sightseeing, why not enjoy an aperitif before dinner in the terrace area of the Tsar Bar or at the President Bar, with its magnificent panoramic windows, plush armchairs and relaxed, welcoming ambience.

Tips are not charged at a set percentage and are not included in the holiday cost, as we understand that giving a gratuity should be entirely at your discretion. As a guideline we would recommend giving €8-12 per person per day should you feel that is appropriate. Usually, an envelope is left in your cabin on the final evening, for you to drop off at reception, if you choose to, the following morning. The tips are divided equally between the crew. Should you also wish to give a gratuity directly to your Riviera Travel Cruise Director and Concierge, this is also at your discretion.

All cabins are air-conditioned and offer either two single beds or a queen-size bed as well as a private bathroom with a bathtub and hairdryer. Further amenities include an LCD television, minibar and two life jackets for your safety. 

Your days begin with a buffet-style breakfast of hot and cold options, including some Russian specialities. Lunch (buffet starter) and three-course dinner menus feature a mix of international and locally inspired dishes with vegetables and simple salads, hearty stews and sweet desserts, served with charming hospitality by your friendly and professional English-speaking crew. Tables are set for four to eight in a comfortable and traditional setting at the ship’s main restaurant located on the Upper Deck.
