Russian Visa Invitations

We are not a typical travel company offering you the stars and the moon while in reality, you end up with an average holiday best-case scenario. Our main goal is to provide our clients with unparalleled service at a fair price so they'd choose to travel the world with us again and again. We don't include anything to your itinerary that we wouldn't recommend our own friends and families, so you may rest assured that all our cruises include only premium ships, the most logical connections, sightseeing tours with excellent English-speaking guides, great onboard entertainment, and even complimentary Russian visa invitations. Taking one of the cruise programs is a completely new way of exploring the wonders of glorious Russia, and we can't wait to start working on the vacation of your dreams!

    An excellent trip on a lovely, well maintained and comfortable ship!

    Traveled to Russia

    An excellent trip on a lovely, well maintained and comfortable ship. All the ship staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was very good. The onboard programs were worthwhile, especially Professor Ludmilla's talks on Russian history and culture. She added enormously to our understanding of Russia and contemporary Russian culture.
