Litvinov Russia River Cruise Ship Information

Single-Seating Restaurants
Two elegant restaurants onboard allow for one seating for all meals (most other ships have two seatings), which is a major advantage, especially with shore excursions. The Volga Restaurant on the Upper Deck seats 160 guests. The more intimate Neva Restaurant on the Boat Deck seats 66.

Restaurants are lined with panoramic windows, so you can dine with a view. Breakfast and lunch are open seating, so you can change your dining companions each day as you meet new friends, or join the same group time after time. The choice is yours. Dinner is a sit down affair with the choice of main entrées. Food is adjusted to the tastes of American travelers (less fat, less salt, etc.).

All meals are in one seating, a great advantage over other ships in Russia, especially in view of the busy sightseeing program. Early riser’s coffee is provided each morning. Coffee or tea is included with every meal.

Public Lounges and Bars
The Rachmaninov Lounge on the Sun Deck has a bar and dance floor, and is also used for lectures and shows. The Kremlin Bar is another pleasant place to enjoy a drink with friends. Also visit the Ladoga Lounge and reading room.

Spacious Sun Deck
Take in the views from the spacious Sun Deck. You'll travel from Moscow to St. Petersburg on the Waterways of the Czars, the scenic rivers, canals and lakes which connect Russia’s two imperial capitals. Sail along the same routes in style and comfort the Czars themselves would have envied.

You don't have to spend valuable time packing and unpacking at each new destination. You see so much more local scenery and culture, on both sides of your ship, than on a large ocean-going cruise ship. Discover what makes river cruising in Russia so memorable.

The festive Sun Deck has ample deckchairs.

All ships are non-smoking, except for the Sun Deck and outside walkways. You will not find this feature on other Russia river cruise ships.

Guaranteed Share for Singles
If you travel alone and do not mind sharing a cabin, offers guaranteed cabin shares in select categories on all our cruises. If we don’t find a match, you will get single occupancy at no extra charge. Please note, we cannot offer guaranteed share in hotels on optional land extensions.

Cruise Directors, Lecturers & Staff
In addition to the friendly ship’s crew, you will also be in the capable hands of an experienced Cruise Director, a seasoned professional with intimate knowledge of Russia and the intricacies of traveling through Russia. He or she manages onboard guides, who are English-speaking Russians. Typically, we have 6 to 8 guides aboard – roughly one per 30 guests.

Usually a professor from one of Russia’s leading universities is on each cruise. He or she conducts a series of lectures on Russia’s history, culture and economy.

Having our own staff in Russia enables us to manage the quality of our tours and cruises through Russia much better than other travel companies that do not have this advantage.
