Paid for a 2 day excursion of which we only did one eight hour day. Beautiful Hermitage Palace and churches. Overall, not super impressed with this port. Just wasn't for me.

The palaces were beautiful. The poverty of the citizens, however, devastating.

1st day did the visit of the Hermitage, Catherine the Great's Palace and the garden of Petershof. The tour was through Aviator from TripAdvisor (TJ Travel) which again was 1/3 of the cost of what Norwegian was offering. It was a great tour and we only had 6 people in our group. Excellent tour!! 2nd day we did the Neve River boat cruise with Russian Forklore singers and music. It was good but they really didn't go but just up and down. I was expecting to tour all the canals.

Of the cities we visited, St. Petersburg wins hands down for grandeur & opulence. Its church spires & alters are encased in gold. Russian architecture of the middle ages is an awesome spectacle to behold. They all bespeak of the obscene riches that the Russian elite enjoyed while her masses toiled. We signed up for 2 shore excursions from the ship for the 2 days the ship was berthed at St. Petersburg. The first covered Sts. Peter & Paul Fortress & Territory, the Church of the Spilled Blood (where the Czar, Alexander II, was killed), the St. Isaacs Cathedral, & a drive along the main shopping street, the Nevsky Prospect (Avenue). The second was an untrammelled stroll along the Nevsky Prospect. If one were to visit Russia on one's own, the visa costs USD 142 pp for Canadians. The ship’s shore excursions skirt that requirement. Our guide for the 2nd excursion, Larissa, was great at her job. Although she let us loose on the Nevsky Prospect, on the drive out & back on the tour coach, she outlined in perfect English with an unmistakably British accent the history of St. Petersburg & Russia. What struck me in her presentation was how dispassionately she described the deprivations that the Russians underwent when the Soviet Union collapsed.
