This trip gave my husband and me an opportunity to explore St Petersburg and Moscow with the added bonus of seeing some pretty villages and scenery along the way. It was an added bonus that we could unpack our belongings and have a familiar comfortable room to sleep in each night.
We were very lucky with sunny weather, and found the use of our own balcony a great treat so we were able to have a quiet chill out and watch stunning sunsets as we sailed past sunken churches and incredible locks.
The ship was kept immaculately clean, the day to day running of trips and activities was very well organised and the staff were helpful, friendly and courteous.
A comfortable quiet room with enough space to store our belongings and well postioned within the ship. We didn't need the lift. We made good use of the balcony.
