Review summary

Moscow has a very industrial, Soviet Era feel, but cool to see Red Square, The Kremlin and St. Basils. The stops in between Moscow and St. Petersberg are brief and frankly, there is not a lot to see/do. I felt rather like the cruise needed to stretch to find places to stop to create a "cruise". The on-board talks about Russian and the Russian lessons were excellent, as was the Vodka tasting/lesson. Cruise Extension hotel was lovely and St. Petersburg was an interesting and beautiful city.
