Ever since its first publication in 1993, the Russia by River guidebook has remained the only comprehensive insider guide dedicated exclusively to the Moscow—St. Petersburg river cruise. It is an indispensable companion for those taking the journey and an invaluable resource for those contemplating this fascinating adventure.
Updated regularly, Russia by River is pocket size for convenient carrying during the trip. It features color photographs, metro maps, and more information than you can possibly imagine, including a kilometer-by-kilometer rundown of the river route, detailed descriptions of all ports of call and waterways, and chapters on a variety of Russian topics such as history, religion, architecture, lacquer boxes, caviar and vodka.
An intelligent mix of exclusively uncovered facts, amusing anecdotes, and helpful inside tips, Russia by River is to the Volga what Mark Twain is to the Mississippi. Or something like that.
