We offer our clients a way to experience travel in Mauritius, Saint Brandon & Madagascar onboard our Brand new fleet of Nautitech Catamarans which offer comfort and safety at sea.

You can rest assured that your days will be well spent exploring the outer islands, snorkeling in out-of-the-way places. We take care of the details while you relax, explore, and recharge.

A slice of paradise Mauritius

Our destination has long been know for its people & melting pot of cultures, beautiful beaches & tropical climate. Ever since the early 1980 day charter catamarans started offering the possibility of escaping from the main island for day trips to the outer isalnds surrounding Mauritius.

But would you not want to board a catamaran to spend a live aboard holiday and sail around the coastlines of Mauritius. Enjoy the panoramas that unfold day after day get to soak discover the island from a totally different perspective. Yet this is something that is not commonly offered and that we set out to offer to those looking for a different experience. We thus created Sea Spirit Cruises see : www.seaspiritcruises.com which is a sister company that we operate and manage offering live aboard cruises.

23 Mar, 2019

After I booked the communication was very fast and accurate. The driver was very timely in picking us up in the morning and drove us to Grand Bay. The cruise itself was more than we expected - I like how friendly and decent the boat crew was. What I also liked is the total liberty and privacy they give you once on the island - you are basically free to do whatever you want at your own pace.

Andrew D. / from Spain

14 Mar, 2019

From the very first enquiry, I was impressed. I did some research and contacted several companies to find the right north island cruise for us but all others took their time in replying and I had to ask a number of information. Mauritius Gabriel was always prompt with answering my queries.

Would I refer them to my friends… I already have!

Jane D. / from Dubai

28 Feb, 2019

We've done several catamaran cruises across the world. This one stands out more because of the local touch to the cruise. The staff are friendly, and most important attentive to little details. Want to stop the boat for some photos - just ask them, and they'll do it. Need more drinks? Just ask and you'll be served.

Sea You Soon !

As featured on....

Nous avons choisi l’excursion dauphin et baleine et ça restera de loin notre meilleur souvenir de notre séjour à Maurice. Roberto et Thomas ont été géniaux du début à la fin en commençant par un briefing pour nous présenter le déroulement de la journée ainsi qu’une présentation des différents mammifères. Nous avons vu dauphins, baleines à bosses, cachalots et même des globicéphales. Le fait d’être accompagné par un nageur (Thomas) est rassurant. Un grand merci à Vitamin Sea et plus particulièrement à Roberto notre capitaine et Thomas notre accompagnateur nageur, 2 passionnés.

Accueil super professionnel, tout en étant très convivial, excursions sensationnelles, avec des skippers au top (encore merci à Brice et Thomas !), flexibles sur les dates et surtout un rapport qualité prix exceptionnel ! Je recommande à 100% La sécurité est respectée et le respect de l’environnement et des dauphins est de rigueur.

Journée exceptionnelle ! 👍🏼

Nous avons passés un superbe moment avec Vitamin Sea. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l’attitude respectueuse de nos hôtes envers les baleines. Nous avons pu voir que ce n’était pas le cas de toutes les embarcations autour de nous. Nous vous encourageons à continuer comme ça. Merci !

Expérience et moment unique. Guides dévoués à rendre l’expérience client fabuleuses tout en respectant la nature

C’était génial et je recommande totalement cette agence. Le personnel à bord est bienveillant, offre le petit dej et café, jus etc… Ils prennent le temps de tout nous montrer, les photos sont réussies, nous repartons directement avec.

Exceptionnel ! Départ au lever du soleil, avec nos 2 guides très sympathiques. Les bateaux sont superbes et totalement privatisés pour chaque groupe. Les guides sont rodés et trouvent très rapidement les dauphins (nous avons vu les deux sortes qui sont présents au large de l'île). Voir des dauphins avec le soleil qui se lève c'est juste magique. Ensuite nous avons pu nous mettre à l'eau et les voir de plus prêt. En prime nous avons rencontré 2 tortues énormes et 2 raies. Plus chanceux que ça, c'est difficile 🐬 Nous avons terminé la sortie de 4h dans le lagon pour aller admirer les poissons tropicaux (un vrai aquarium). Les guides nous ont offert le petit dej pour terminer la balade. Je me demandais si Vitamine Sea serait à la hauteur de leur compte Instagram, ils sont bien au dessus 💙

Très bonne agence d’excursion pour nager avec les dauphins 🐬 l’équipage du boat est très cool et très pro ! Merci à vous !

Amazing place, lovelely experience

Expérience hors du commun! Je recommande a 10000% nous avons eu la chance de voir lors de l’expérience nage avec les dauphins une baleine mais aussi des tortues et raie! Stéphane et Morgane sont d’une gentillesse incomparable! Ils savent nous mettre en confiance et en toute sécurité Un moment inoubliable grâce à eux!

Nous avons choisi "Vitamin Sea" grâce à de très bons commentaires...mais toujours avec un peu d appréhension quand cest la 1ere fois et l envie de faire de cette journée une expérience mémorable pour notre Famille. Nous avons été pris en charge depuis le France par la chaleureuse Alexandra, nous avons eu très vite l impression de nous connaitre avant meme de se rencontrer. Quoi de mieux pour être en confiance!! Jour J; levée à 6 mais Wouahhh quel spectacle magnifique la nage avec les dauphins, surtout entourés d une superbe équipe, Hansley et Mathieu. Ils ont fait preuve d un grand professionnalisme, de beaucoup de bienveillance le tout avec humour. Apres toutes ces émotions et le snorkeling; direction ile aux bénitiers pour un déjeuner grillades ; juste succulent ...dans un cadre magique; bravo aux cuisniers : cuisson top. Mille merci encore à vous Alexandra, Hansley et Mathieu de faire de nos rêves une réalité, surtout en cette journée surprise pour les 17 ans de notre fils.:on gardera à jamais ce souvenir. Marie, Christophe, Mateo et Louane conseillons Vitamin Sea les yeux fermés, les mauritiens savent recevoir 😉

Super expérience avec vitamine sea on paye plus cher que ce qu’on peut nous proposer sur l’île mais le service de qualité est là ! Respect de l’environnement et surtout des animaux ! (Nous avons eu la chance de croiser une baleine en allant nager avec les dauphins nous avons pus l’observer quelques minutes puis ils nous ont expliqué qu’il fallait pas la déranger plus car elle était sur le point de mettre bas donc elle avait besoin de ses forces)Je vous recommande vivement ! Merci à Brice et Benoit qui ont étés au top tout le long de notre journée.

Quelle expérience incroyable. Il faut pouvoir le vivre pour le groire! Merci à Roberto et Francky pour leur accueil et leur partage. Petit plus pour le jus et le gâteau qui nous rebooste bien après la nage avec les magnifiques dauphins.

An absolutely amazing experience, we would definitely recommend! We had a private tour with photos and it was one of the highlights of our holiday. We got to swim with dolphins and come within metres of them on several occasions. Visiting the lagoon and snorkelling with the tropical fish was also fantastic. Big shout out to Roberto for capturing some great pictures and videos despite our attempts to follow the dolphins being far from graceful!

Une expérience unique !

Superbe journée, nage avec les dauphins et les poissons de toutes les couleurs c’était sublime. Sans oublier notre repas vue sur le Morne. C’était parfait . Un grand bravo

Ich war zuerst etwas abgeschreckt von den Preisen, die Vitamin Sea verlangt. Wir haben die Delfin+Wal Tour inkl Fotograf gebucht und letztendlich muss ich sagen, dass es jeder Cent wert war. Unser Fotograf/Guide war sehr freundlich und kompetent, genauso wie der Kapitän des Boots. Das Boot war in einem top Zustand und es wurden Bananenbrot und kühle Getränke angeboten. Wir waren immer darauf bedacht, den Tieren die notwendige Distanz zu geben, andere Boote und deren Gäste aus einschlägigen Ländern haben dies leider nicht gemacht und sogar probiert Tiere zu berühren, weswegen diese dann manchmal relativ schnell wieder abgetaucht sind. Dafür kann Vitamin Sea aber nichts, hier sollten die anderen Tourorganisatoren härter durchgreifen.Später bei den Walen hatten wir dann das Glück, dass wir eine Mutter und ihr Baby "für uns" hatten und diese dann ganz entspannt beobachten könnten.Die Fotos und Videos, welche wir am Ende als SD Karte bekommen haben, sind wunderschön und werden daheim direkt ausgedruckt und an die Wand gehängt. Insgesamt war es ein unvergessliches Erlebnis, an welches wir noch viele Jahre zurück denken werden.

Nager avec les dauphins c'est juste INCROYABLE !!! Alexandra et son équipe de skipper a été très professionnels et au petit soin pour nous lors de notre sortie en mer.

Personnel au top ! (Hansley et son jeune collègue) Nous recommandons vraiment cette agence pour vos excursions en mer, c’était incroyable !

De multiples baignades parmi les dauphins. Un bateau splendide. Un équipage merveilleux pour un souvenir inoubliable.

Tolle private Tour, super guides ,fantastische Fotos....jeder Zeit wieder ,hat riesig Spaß gemacht

Perfect Service

Excellente journée avec Vitamin Sea. Je recommande vivement. Belle sortie dauphin et surtout les paysages. Le cadre du morne est vraiment incroyable. Le bateau était bien équipés et le déjeuner le Midi très bien fait. Merci 🤩

We had an amazing whale watching trip with Vitamin Sea Mauritius. We would 100% recommend them. We had a private tour and saw more than 7 whales, 2 baby whales and some dolphins. The guys on the boat were very friendly, funny and helpful. Thank you Stephan and Johan. Their office is right next to the pier, Alexandra from the office is very professional and showed us all the pictures after the boat trip.They (Stephan & Johan & Alexandra) all made us feel very welcome! Swimming next to the whales was a once in a lifetime experience, that I wouldn't want to miss! We also booked someone to take pictures and videos of us and the whales underwater. Highly recommended. We got to fully concentrate on the whales and someone took nice photos of us. On the boat we got to eat banana bread and they offered us drinks (juice, water, etc.)Everything worked perfectly (driver, boat, planning, communication via whatsapp, pickup, swimming, photos, payment), there truly is nothing negative! 10/10 experience!Next time we're visiting Mauritius, we will book trips with Vitamin Sea Mauritius again.

It was an extraordinary experience, we have seen a lot of whales. Stefan and Julien have made our day special. We will never forget that. Thank you guys and Vitamin sea.

Amazing! The team on the boat was super friendly and doing their best to give us an unique experience, what we hat. Also to mention the super tasty Banana bread.

Wir haben zu 4. die Delfin und Waltour gemacht und waren alle restlos begeistert! Alles hat super funktioniert, die Jungs Bryce und Erwin waren super drauf und haben uns alles prima erklärt. Danke für alles!! P.S.: Muskelkater am nächsten Tag vom schwimmem ist vorprogrammiert 🙂

Magnifique journée en bateau ainsi que de nage avec les dauphins et poissons au lever du soleil en compagnie de nos amis. Merci à Vitamin Sea, particulièrement au skipper et à notre guide pour leur accueil chaleureux et pour leur professionnalisme qui nous a permis d’avoir des moments inoubliables notamment le privilège de nager avec un groupe de dauphins. Merci aussi pour l’excellent repas sur l’île aux Bénitiers. La cuisson au BBQ du poulet, du poisson est maitrisée à merveille sans oublier les meilleures bananes flambées au coco que j’ai mangées! Si je reviens, la prochaine fois je vous recontacterai avec plaisir pour une excursion en mer pour voir les baleines 🙂

Journée de rêve. Tout est paradisiaque, aucune fausse note. Départ matinal (5h30), accueil aux petits soins, embarquement sur speedboat, explications du programme et c'est parti. Nage avec les dauphins, snorkeling, arrivée sur l'île puis le meilleur barbecue de ma vie : brochettes de crevettes, salade, poulet mariné grillé, saucisses et langoustes. Pour finir, bananes flambées et ananas en digestion. Merci pour cette journée, on a tout adoré.

Discover the Top Power Catamarans for 2024

• By Yachting Staff
• Updated: September 10, 2024

Power catamarans have seen a surge in popularity, growing both in size and appeal. These cruise-focused yachts offer homelike comfort, fuel efficiency and user-friendly operation, making them a favorite among avid travelers. Their popularity extends to the bareboat charter market for the same reasons.

In this article, we explore the world’s top power catamarans, ranging from a 36-footer ideal for a cruising couple to a 78-footer perfect for entertaining friends and family. The propulsion options are diverse, including outboards, diesel inboards, hybrids, and even all-solar setups.

Top Luxury Power Catamarans

The following power catamarans are all vessels we’ve reviewed. They are listed in no particular order.

• Fountaine Pajot MY44 : A family-oriented cat suitable for long-range cruising and aimed at owner-operators. 
• Silent Yachts 60 : This is a catamaran that can cruise comfortably for long distances using emissions-free solar-electric propulsion.
• Horizon PC74 : With interior and deck space like a much larger vessel, the PC74 is perfect for cruising the Bahamas and Caribbean.
• Aquila 36 : This beefy 36-footer is an outboard-powered, express-cruiser-style catamaran.
• Lagoon Seventy 8 Powercat : A spacious design, this vessel fits the volume of a 130-foot-long monohull into just 78 feet of length overall. 
• Horizon PC68 : This cat has a stable ride, long range, volume to spare and intriguing layout options.
• Two Oceans 555 : An elegantly simple yet luxurious 55-foot custom with the space and amenities of a much larger vessel.
• Lagoon 630 : From its open salon to its spacious decks, the Lagoon is a comfortable and luxurious platform.
• Fountaine Pajot MY5 : A midsize cruiser with serious big-boat space for family and friends. 
• Prestige Yachts M8 : The voluminous 65-footer lets owners customize onboard spaces.
• Aquila 47 Molokai : Calling all anglers: This cat has 60-plus-knot speed and is set up for serious bluewater adventure.

Fountaine Pajot MY44

The  Fountaine Pajot MY44 , a creation of Italian architect Pierangelo Andreani and French designer Daniel Andrieu, has a main deck that’s open from the aft-deck seating all the way forward to the starboard helm station. The sense of spaciousness is significant, for several reasons. First, four glass panels aft can all slide to port, creating an indoor-outdoor space with the aft deck and salon. In the salon, 32-inch-high windows extend for 12 feet down the sides of the yacht, with three sections per side, bringing in natural light along with the three forward panes that comprise the windshield. Finally, 6-foot-6-inch headroom provides vertical clearance, with a 21-foot-7-inch beam that adds interior roominess while keeping the yacht stable.

Quick Specifications

Silent Yachts 60

Solar panels, ocean-crossing range and self-sufficiency define the electric Silent-Yachts 60 power catamaran. If there was any question that the “Tesla moment” has arrived in yachting, the Silent 60 clearly provides a positive response. Consider, for a moment, crossing oceans in silence at 5 to 6 knots without consuming a drop of fuel and never needing to plan your course between fuel stops. Imagine sitting at anchor and running the air conditioning all night, not to mention all the galley appliances plus the washer-dryer, without the hum or fumes from a genset.

Horizon PC74

As founder and director of The Powercat Company, a Horizon Power Catamarans distributor, Stuart Hegerstrom had long believed that catamaran builders needed to design their yachts to more stylish standards.

“The boats were very boxy,” he says, based on his years of experience with cats in the charter market. He and his partner, Richard Ford, asked Horizon to produce models that had high-end finishes and looked good inside and out.

The Horizon team brought in mega-yacht designer JC Espinosa to work with its own craftsmen. The result aboard the  Horizon PC74  is a catamaran with exterior styling, layout and functionality that should appeal to private and charter owners alike.

The Aquila 36  is a departure from her sisterships in that she is an outboard-powered, express-cruiser-style catamaran, but she also adheres to MarineMax’s philosophies.

With a single main living level from bow to stern and a beam of 14 feet 7 inches, the Aquila 36 is like a bowrider on steroids. She has seating that can handle 20 adults for outings and barbecues, and there are two staterooms below, one in each hull, for family weekending. The staterooms have nearly queen-size berths, en suite heads, stowage and 6-foot-6-inch headroom.

Lagoon Seventy 8 Powercat

Lagoon is a division of Groupe Beneteau, the world’s largest builder of sailing yachts, and the  Lagoon Seventy 8 Powercat  is a developmental sistership of its Seventy 7 super sailing cat. The Seventy series yachts are built at Construction Navale Bordeaux in France, which had to add a new yard to construct these catamarans because they require separate stern molds for the power and sail versions.

Horizon PC68

Multihull yachts ride differently than monohulls, often counteracting the sea’s motion for a smoother, more stable ride. On the Horizon PC68 , sharp hull entries make head seas seem gentle, and a Humphree stabilization system with blades reduces roll. Horizon uses SCRIMP construction for resin saturation that maximizes strength with an 111,112-pound displacement. And with a 5-foot-4-inch draft, the PC68 invites island cruising.

Two Oceans 555

With 27-knot speed, house-like volume, an on-deck master and top-tier tech, the Two Oceans 555 is a formidable power catamaran. Dave Jirikovic of HMY Yachts was on a quest. The sales broker was looking for the meanest, nastiest patch of Gulf Stream he could find to show a potential client what the Two Oceans 555 power cat could handle. And just as he had intended to show us, the broad-shouldered power cat didn’t even notice. He even dropped the single-lever throttles back to idle and left the 25-foot-wide Two Oceans 555 beam-on to another set of square-edged seas. The 55-footer brushed that off too. Jirikovic tried quartering into the seas—never a happy angle for catamarans—and the yacht drowsed through them.

Fitted with the optional twin 300-horsepower Volvo Penta D4 diesels, the  Lagoon 630 MY  burns only 1.64 gph total at 6 knots, giving a theoretical range of 2,952 nautical miles with standard tankage of 793 gallons. Hull No. 1 had an optional 502-gallon tank, giving it transatlantic range.

Luxury, stability and economy are all hallmarks of Lagoon’s return to luxury motor yachts. If you can take a ride, it will be worth your time.

Fountaine Pajot MY5

The flybridge deck on the Fountaine Pajot MY5 is a standout feature, offering virtually unobstructed 360-degree ocean views and an elevated beach club vibe. Aft of the off-center starboard helm is a spacious area perfect for entertaining, complete with a wet bar, refrigeration center, and ample seating. It’s the most popular space aboard according to the builder. And if the weather turns for the worse, a second helm station in the saloon allows the skipper to pilot the MY5 in climate-controlled comfort.

Prestige Yachts M8

How fitting it was that Prestige Yachts introduced its new M-Line flagship, the M8 , at Portopiccolo, a picturesque yachting village outside Trieste, Italy. Formerly a quarry, the cliff-side area had been chiseled into a clean site rife with eye-catching vistas, much like the French builder’s 65-foot power catamaran and its nearly 3,000 square feet of usable real estate.

Aquila 47 Molokai

With every boat, there’s an origin story. In the case of the Aquila 47 Molokai power catamaran, it starts with MarineMax, which saw people renting boats for bareboat charters. MarineMax Vacations was born. After experimenting with several production yachts, the company decided to build its own: the Aquila line, designed for charter as well as for sale to owner-operators.

Review of Russian River Cruises

CruiseMapper's "Russian River Cruises" hub provides detailed information on ships, itineraries, tours and prices on cruises along rivers and lakes in Russia. Here you'll also find concise info on the largest Russian cruise companies, including Vodohod , Mosturflot , Infoflot , Doninturflot-Orthodox , Imperial River Cruises Russia .

In the "Fleet" section you will find an extensive list or Russian cruise ships. By following each ship link you will find the ship's review, deck plans, scheduled itineraries and cruise pricing information. Live ship tracking is also provided on a digital map. It shows the vessel's current location, cruising speed and course.

In the "Itinerary" section you will find maps and day-by-day scheduled activities planned by Europe's largest cruise companies, also operating in Russia via chartered riverboats.

Volga River Cruises in Russia

Volga river cruising in Russia places you in another time. The longest and largest river in Europe stretches from Ivan the Terrible to Catherine the Great. Today, live along the central artery of Russia looks like it always has - the villages, the churches, the people, just like an old painting you have seen in a gallery.

The Volga flows through central Russia into the Caspian Sea and is often called the national river of Russia. 11 of the 20 largest cities of the country, including the capital Moscow, are in Volga's watershed. Some of the world's largest reservoirs can be found along the river, which has a symbolic meaning in Russian culture, referred to as Mother Volga (Volga Matushka) in Russian folklore and literature.

Explore the land of the Tsars while sailing down the historic Volga river, typically between Moscow and St Petersburg , the traditional homeports (of embarkation and debarkation). Tour landmarks are the Red Square and Kremlin in Moscow, the Hermitage and Catherine Palace in St Petersburg.

Once unthinkable as a cruise vacation destination, Russia is today more accessible than ever, with stops along its largest European lakes and rivers. For river travel lovers accustomed to European itineraries, the Russian experience will be quite different. Russia has a special feel of uniquely designed riverboats. Built to handle larger lakes (Lake Ladoga for example, is the largest European freshwater body of water), these vessels usually feature larger size and capacity (up to six decks), deeper draft, and most of them are refurbished instead of being newbuild.

The itineraries offered are activity-intensive in Moscow and St Petersburg, with long periods of cruising and less ashore time in the middle. Smaller "Golden Ring" cities (so named due to their historic significance) are full of icon-riddled monasteries and Orthodox churches. Most cruise lines hire local experts and fill the days of sailing along the river with lectures on country's history, cooking demonstrations and language lessons.

Most of the tours offered by the companies sailing along Volga River are identical, so customers choosing between the different itineraries should look at how the river ships spend the time within Moscow and St. Petersburg. Some lines have their guests stay onboard, which can be as far as 1 hour out of both cities. Others put their clients up at hotels near the center of the city, with several meals at customer's expense.

Compared with other river routes, Russia features a short season, between early May and late October, with high season in June (known as White Nights because of the endless daylight), July and August. Even if the weather is chilly, there are some advantages to sailing early or late: you'll beat the crowds which can make a visit to the Hermitage a bear. Most Russian museums lack air-conditioning, and while the climate is generally temperate, in the summer Moscow often experiences high humidity heat waves.

Remember to think about your Russian visa at least 2 months before your voyage, to have enough time to fill out the paperwork, including a lengthy online application. And don't forget that the Russian language uses the Cyrillic alphabet. Even in the cities, you'll rarely find signs in English, so learning some letters and a few phrases will help you get around.

Russian cruise ships

Currently, in Russia is operated a huge fleet of over 200 river cruise ships. All these vessels were built during the USSR (Soviet Union) times, roughly in the period between 1950-1990. Depending on class and series, these boats differ in terms of size, equipment (different engine designs), passenger capacity, onboard facilities and venues, cabins (types and number). Amenities additionally differ by shipowner (cruise company).

All these old-design Russian ships were completely refurbished and rebuilt for their new shipowners, Some of these ships are operated (via partnerships or under charter) also by foreign companies (like Viking, CroisiEurope, Uniworld, AMAwaterways, Grand Circle, Nicko). During their multi-million-dollar drydock refits, vessels passenger capacities were considerably reduced to improve travel comfort and safety.

Most boats are of the following classes:

• "Rossiya" (Project 785, 36 vessels built 1952-1958)
• "Baykal" (Project 646, 15 units built 1953-1956)
• "Rodina" (Project 588, 49 vessels built 1954-1961)
• "Oktyabrskaya Revolyutsiya" (Project 26-37, 14 units built 1957-1962)
• "Dunay" (Project 305, 47 vessels built between 1959-1964)
• "Kuybyshev" (Project OL400, 9 units built 1975-1983)
• "Vladimir Ilyich" (Project 301, 22 vessels built between 1975-1983)
• "Dmitri Furmanov" (Project 302, 27 vessels built between 1983-1991)

Regardless of their age, all these motor ships undergo regular drydock refurbishments , machinery and safety checks, scheduled repairs (including annual surveys). Drydocks are every 5 years and include repairs, hull inspection, propulsion-steering inspection, general maintenance works.

Each ship is equipped with life-saving appliances (lifeboats and rafts) in amounts exceeding the boat's max passenger and crew capacity. Each cabin is equipped with lifejackets with illustrated instructions in several languages. All ships are equipped with modern fire-fighting systems. Crew and staff are experienced and highly professional certified employees.

Volga River cruise ports highlights

• St Petersburg (Russia's second-largest city - after Moscow) was built by Tzar Peter the Great in 1703. It is located in the Neva River delta (Gulf of Finland's east coast). Saint Petersburg includes the territories of more than 130 islands interconnected by over 300 bridges. The city has a huge number of cultural and historical sights, architectural landmarks, museums, magnificent palaces (Russian Tsars' former residences), grand parks, wide avenues, bridges, numerous monuments. Among its most famous tourist attractions are the Hermitage museum (housing over 2 million pieces of art). Two days is never enough to see everything in this remarkable city. However, passengers will usually visit the Hermitage, admire the city's 19th-century architecture during a canal cruise tour, take in a cultural performance, visit one of the Versailles-style palaces in St. Petersburg's countryside (Pushkin or Peterhof).
• Moscow (Russian Federation's capital and largest city) was founded in 1147 by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky. The city was destroyed several times - by the Mongolians, Napoleon, the Nazis. The heart of the city lies in the Red Square, which contains Lenin's Tomb, St Basil's Cathedral, and GUM Department Store. Kremlin's red walls also border the square. Inside the fort are the Armoury (containing the Faberge eggs) and 9 onion-domed churches. Art-fans can seek out Pushkin Gallery or see a show at Bolshoi Theatre.
• Yaroslavl is one of the Golden Ring cities of Russia, and the largest city to visit during the middle of your Volga cruise. The town is famous for its gorgeous churches. It also offers several pedestrian-only streets full of shops and cafes, as well as a lovely embankment used as a park.
• Uglich has a provincial setting. It was found in the 10th century and was a scene of some of medieval Russian history's most remarkable events. Here were exiled the Ivan Terrible’s 7th wife and her son Tsarevich Dmitry. Soon after, Tsarevich was mysteriously murdered here. Soon after, a dedicated to this event church ("Church of St. Demetrius on the Blood") was erected. Within the Uglich Kremlin walls is the town's oldest building - "Prince’s Palace". Other attractions are St. John’s Church and the Transfiguration Cathedral.
• Astrakhan was founded at the end of the 13th century and is located on the Volga's left bank. Port’s activities extend 100 km downstream and over 300 km upstream along the river. The city is a major trading center and its main business is freight shipping (coal, timber, salt, food, industrial products). Astrakhan is not linked to the railroad network. Cargoes are transferred by floating cranes from river ships to seagoing vessels.
• Goritsy is a small village on River Sheksna, famous for its Resurrection Convent, At approx 4 ml (7 km) from Goritsy is Kirillov - a pilgrimage site with many historical and architectural monuments. Among those are the Kirillo-Belozerski monastery, Ferapont monastery (UNESCO site), 12 churches, 25 civil monuments.
• Kizhi Island (Lake Onega) is located approx 70 km (40 ml) to the northeast of Petrozavodsk. The island has two onion-domed churches. Also here is the 17th-century-built 22-domed church - constructed without using a single nail. Its "Church of the Transfiguration of our Savior" and "Church of the Intercession" were rebuilt several times and are preserved in their original 17th-century design.
• Mandrogi (Mandroga) is a small village on the Svir river recently created as a tourist attraction. It features small wooden log cabin houses. Its “town of masters” is a market for hand-made Russian art craft, including paintings, painted wooden dolls, embroidery, pottery. Other attractions are the elk nursery and the quail farm, horse-riding tours, food tasting (pastry), vodka tasting (museum of Russian vodka).
• Kostroma is also one of the Golden Ring cities, and once was one of Russia's 3 largest cities - after Moscow and Yaroslavl, It is located at the confluence of the rivers Volga and Kostroma. Among the attractions are the St Ipathy monastery, an open-air museum (traditional wooden architecture- izbas, mills, churches are gathered in one place).
• Kizhi is famous the whole world over. It has become the symbol of the grandeur of unique Russian culture. Visiting the Kizhi Islands gives a great chance to appreciate the enchanting medieval atmosphere and get acquainted with the customs and free spirit of men living in a spacious area with a rigorous climate
• Kazan. The largest port in the Volga basin, it transships cargoes transported by water alone or by water and rail. The port receives coal from Kuznetsk Basin for Kazan's heat and electric power plant, food and industrial products, and ships out products of city's enterprises and Siberian timber. The port includes Tsentral’nyi, Kama, and Volga cargo areas, as well as a number of landings, the biggest of which is Naberezhnye Chelny and Chistopol’. The basin of the Tsentral’nyi Cargo Area and passenger area are protected by a breakwater.
• Novgorod (Nizhniy Novgorod) is an ancient stronghold founded by Gran Prince Yuri as a frontier post, is now the 5th largest city of Russia as well as one of the main centers of river tourism in the country. In the 19th century, Nizhniy became the trade center of the whole state as it was the place of the biggest fair in the Russian Empire. A proverb of that time says: "Moscow is the heart of Russia, St. Petersburg is its head, and Nizhniy Novgorod - its pocketbook". The city was renamed "Gorky" in Soviet times, in honor of the writer Maxim Gorky, born there. Until 1990, Nizhniy Novgorod was “closed” to foreigners as USSR protected its military secrets. Nizhniy Novgorod is included in the UNESCO list of 100 cities constituting world cultural and historical value.
• Samara - during the Soviet period the city was named Kuybyshev, in honor of the Soviet party figure Valerian Kuybyshev. The shortest ways from Central and Western Europe to Kazakhstan, Siberia, and Central Asia run through Samara. The city has a rich cultural heritage: Alexey Tolstoy spent his childhood and youth there. Maxim Gorky started his literary career in the city - he worked in "Samara Newspaper".
