We did the 21/2 tour and a Vodka tasting tour. If you are in Russia and don't speak the language you NEED to use the ship for all excusions as they know everything to see and explain everything in so much detail.

We took 2 excursions, one on day 1 and one on day 2. Unfortunately, some of the places we visited on day 2 were the same ones we visited on day 1. Also, the excursion we took on day 2 included a lunch, which was terrible. The space was overcrowded, the food was awful, the service was bad (because of the number of people). For the money we paid on this excursion, I believe the cruiseline could have found a better place to eat.

Took all day RCL excursion and when we got back to the ship it took nearly an hour to get through security (twice- Russian, then RCL) and immigration control. No time to freshen up, late for dinner, and the whole night was rushed and behind schedule.

Three days were a little long, if you don't get into the excursions you want. Due to the visa requirements, we were not able to take advantage of walking on our own (we did not get a visa. we did the cruise tours to be able to view the city). Really enjoyed the tours, just wish we would have seen the Hermitage and maybe taken advantage of the extra tours in the evening.

We took the two day Best of St Petersburg tour and were non stop for the 17 hours. The palaces and museum were awesome...and very crowded. It was hard to see everything in the few hours we toured, but it was enough to get a sense of their greatness. We visited the church of the Spilled Blood, but it was too early to go inside, which was a disappointment. The main problem we encountered was not being able to leave the port the second night as scheduled due to the wind conditions. We were happy to sail away the next morning.

St Petersburg was beautiful. We were there for two days. The first day we took a tour of Peterhof palace and gardens booked through princess cruises. It was breathtaking and surreal. They took really good care of the palace they even made you wear shoe covers. Everything from the fountains to chandeliers to parts of rooms were all gold guilded.There were thousands of people waiting for the fountains to start. When they did it was unlike anything you have ever seen ( maybe it was similar to Versailles). The point is it was just amazing. Then we did an evening folkloric show where we were immersed in Russian culture through music. The dancers and singers were so talented. The next day we did an easy St Petersburg tour. There was minimal walking and for good people with mobility issues. You got to see many sights. They took you to St Issac's cathedral where the largest golden dome in the world is. You will also visit the church of the savior on spilled blood. It was a sight for sore eyes. Some of the domes looked like candy and everything about was so ornate. They also stopped at a place with little vendors selling souvenirs and it had views of almost the whole city. You will also pass the hermitage. There is so much to see and do in St Petersburg that if you truly want to see it all you will have to spend more than two days here. It was unlike anything I have seen and was my second favorite port throughout the cruise (it was close but it came behind London). I would love to come back here to see everything and would recommend that you go to this port on your next voyage abroad.
