The engine hums as you cruise along the calm water of the Winter Canal. Gaze around at the scenes of life in Russia’s second-largest city. 

There’s the Hermitage Theatre and Hermitage Museum, both more than two-hundred years old. Your captain takes you beneath the iconic arch of the Hermitage Bridge, and you proceed onto the Neva River for the rest of the tour. 

Now you cruise St. Peterburg’s many picturesque canals and rivers, which snake through the historic city, and once served as critical transportation routes.

Explore these channels and enjoy a privileged vantage on some of the city’s most storied sights, like Peter and Paul Fortress.
