Russia River Cruise - St. Basil
“One of the best river cruises we have ever taken. The food, itinerary and weather exceeded our expectations. We can truly say that we came home with a deeper sense of appreciation for Ukraine and its people.”

River Cruises Through Russia & Ukraine

Viking River Cruises began offering Russian river cruises nearly 15 years ago. No longer shrouded in mystery, Russia now welcomes you with open arms. Russia cruises give you the chance to take in the colourful sights of Red Square, the royal retreats of St. Petersburg and the beauty of Ukraine.

No one can show you Russia like Viking can. For The Real Russia experience, check out our new videos and photo gallery, read the latest news and learn about our fully renovated Russian fleet.
