St Petersburg Shore Excursion

Cruise passengers arriving at St Petersburg Port are highly recommended to take an organised tour of the city. Many ships dock at St Petersburg Port for a few days –just enough time to visit ‘must see’ attractions including The Hermitage Museum, home to one of largest and most valuable fine art collections in the world, the grand palace of Peterhof, St Isaac’s Cathedral, the Peter and Paul Fortress and St Petersburg University.

St Catherine’s Palace is also sure to be high on the itinerary in this UNESCO world heritage city. The many designer stores on Nevsky Prospect are ideal for an afternoon’s shopping, and St Petersburg features many attractive parks including the Summer Gardens which are perfect for a stroll or picnic. Passengers can tour St Petersburg by canal boat, from a bus or on foot.
