On this river cruise, spend several days touring the cities’ important landmarks—Moscow’s Kremlin and Red Square, and St. Petersburg’s Catherine’s Palace, Peter & Paul Fortress and the Hermitage—and also discover the history and culture of Russia’s heartland.  Viking Truvor - With understated elegance and trademark Viking interiors, this is one of the very best ships on Russia’s waterways. Completely refurbished in 2009 & 2011, Viking Truvor sets the standard in Russia.  These ships now carry 210 guests in two 290-square-foot suites and 104 spacious staterooms, all of which meet the latest European standards of comfort and elegance, with all hotel-style beds (except for the two single staterooms) and amenities like 26-inch flat-panel TVs, In-room refrigerators and three open air promenade decks.
