  • Overview – MS Rostropovich 8 Day Russia River Cruise 2022

    Book now for 2022!  Our Russia River Cruise aboard MS Rostropovich, one of the few luxury ships sailing the Russia river cruise waterways, is a popular choice. The 5 star MS Rostropovich is the perfect showcase for the legendary and historic towns and rivers of Russia’s Golden Ring, from Moscow to St Petersburg. MS Rostropovich is one of the most modern and elegant vessels to travel Russia’s Waterways, Canals and Rivers and one of only a few with an elevator and private cabin balconies.

    Each season our guests are more than delighted with the high standard of the ship, spacious cabins, friendliness of the crew and the interesting, leisurely included tour programme.   Dedicated on board guides provide a personal touch and the restaurant staff make each mealtime a pleasure. The choice at mealtimes includes vegetarian options. In 2022 just one departure is available for International guests, so book now to avoid disappointment.

    With 212 guests in 106 staterooms, this is definitely our vessel of choice for our discerning customers.

    “…The entire cruise on the MS Rostropovich and land excursions were incredibly good value as were the optional tours on offer.

    Could not fault anything on board and the tour guides were exemplary. We had a lot of fun with Russian dancing and singing and there were plenty of other things to enjoy (Russian history classes for example) which were very popular.

    Dining room, food and accommodations were first class with service crew friendly and helpful at all times and even though some of them had limited English, it was FAR better than my Russian! It would appear that passengers are designated restaurants by language. English was probably the least spoken so we were allocated the Symphony Restaurant which is the smaller and more intimate of the two on board. Met some lovely people and the entire experience was orchestrated by our guide in ANDREW, who really did look after and organise us flawlessly.

    Excellent value and extremely enjoyable cruise and would strongly recommend it to anyone who enjoys river cruising…”

    RF from UK


    “…We really enjoyed our cruise from St Petersburg to Moscow. The MS Rostropovich has been tastefully refurbished and everything on board was very comfortable. The crew were friendly and professional. Our guide/s were knowledgeable and helpful. Such clever young women! Dining was a pleasure with a delightful waitress (Irina) who smiled and giggled her way through our attempts at speaking Russian. The food was excellent, beautifully presented and plenty of it. Our shore excursions (included) were really interesting and we visited some very unique and special places. On-board entertainment was varied and the musicians were brilliant. Russian classes were fun. We had a relaxing time on the still waterways and enjoyed watching the varied scenery from our balcony. Everything was very well organized, communication was excellent and everything we did was smoothly and efficiently transacted. The whole experience was wonderful and we’d thoroughly recommend it. We would certainly recommend using SAC – Becky, whom we dealt with was just superb in all respects. Thank you so much for the trip of a lifetime…”

    RUSSIAN DANCE CLASS

    Traditional Russian dances will give you a chance to feel like a real Russian. Everybody is welcome to join the master-class. Several dances are learnt step by step, taking a slow pace to allow everyone perfect their skills.  Traditional Russian dances were created by people from different villages so that they could get acquainted and entertain  each other with their unique routines.

    SING-ALONG CLASS

    Everybody has heard of our famous Russian songs “Katusha” or “Kalinka”. At our onboard Sing-along classes you will discover your hidden vocal talents or will simply have some fun.  Led by a team of professional musicians, you may form your own choir – and choose to perform at the end of the cruise during the Talent show!

    FOLK CONCERTS

    Professional folk groups perform for you their best concerts!  Enjoy the sound of traditional Russian instruments played masterly by the musicians – domra or balalaika, button accordion and tambourine.  The musical instruments are played solo as well as to accompany the traditional Russian songs, gypsy romances and cossack songs. Thrilling melodies and charming voices, the lively colours of national folk costumes will create unforgettable impressions!

    CULINARY JOURNEY

    Most of us agree that excellent catering is one of the most important aspects of a perfect holiday, that’s why we pay specific attention to the meals served on board. Strict attention to detail, good customer service, trained professionals and great food are our aim.  A perfect combination of European and Russian cuisine will allow you not only to sample some of the flavours of Russia, but also to enjoy well known European dishes. The choice of menu will give you a chance to select your dish out of three equally delicious alternatives.  Salads, appetizing soups, main courses and delicious desserts will satisfy the taste of the most discerning traveller!

    Our ample buffet style breakfast offers numerous and diverse dishes.
    From the earliest times Russian people attached a great importance to soups, no lunch could be served without one. Altogether there are several thousand recipes of soups, but we chose the most popular and delicious to offer you during the 3 course lunch on board!  Select the dishes you prefer: it can be meat, fish or vegetables, one of famous Russian soups or European cream soup, ice cream, season fruits or luscious cake for dessert.
    At dinner on board  you’ll also have the chance to try traditional Slavic and Russian dishes, our professional waiters in national costume will be happy to serve them for you! During the Captain’s dinner, a special menu will be presented. Our chefs always do their best, but this special day they’ll surpass themselves so that you’ll remember this dinner for a long time!

    RUSSIAN TEA CEREMONY

    Since its introduction early in the seventeenth century, tea has become the Russians’ favorite drink. Enjoy Russian tea, prepared in traditional “samovar”, listen to live music played by our folk band and maybe learn some dancing moves!
