Russia Shore Excursions
Experience A Shore Excursion to the Russian Treasure of St. Petersburg - Home to the Czars Few places anywhere on earth have the history and sights of St. Petersburg, Russia. This historical treasure will reveal such iconic structures as the Hermitage, Catherine the Great's Palace, the Gardens of Peterhof, and the Peter and Paul Cathedral (also in Peterhof). Beyond the Czar-era sights, your shore excursion will also reveal more modern dachas (country houses) and the more drab residential apartments and other buildings built during the reign of Josef Stalin. But the timeliness history of St. Petersburg - built by Peter the Great in the 18th Century - will never fail to impress anyone fortunate enough to experience this legendary city. No trip to Russia is complete without a visit to its capital city, Moscow. Think of the iconic images you've seen over your lifetime - Red Square, bordered by the G.U.M department store just waiting to sell you some unique souvenirs of Russia...or the colorful, onion-shaped domed St. Basil's Cathedral, built by Ivan the Terrible...or the legendary Faberge eggs created for an Empress of Russia...or the walled Kremlin (English translation: fortress), the official residence of the Russian President. Hearkening back to the days of the Czars, your shore excursion will reveal the Cathedral of the Christ Savior, before returning to the last (20th) Century with sights such as Lenin's Mausoleum. After viewing these many sights, you'll want a bite to eat. Look no further than the Alexander Pushkin restaurant in downtown Moscow, and enjoy a tasty bowl of borscht (beet soup).
