187harland Posted November 24, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2010 We are Rissa and Alfie from Montreal QC Canada...quite excited about this river cruise, our first. We hope fellow passengers will find their way - your way - to this board and hop on! Finding these boards for river cruises is a bit more challenging than for other cruises. We will be arriving in Moscow and staying in a hotel for 3 nights before the cruise and will remain in St. Petersburg a further 4 nights in hotel after the cruise. We are now planning private tours with guides in both cities to see more than we are given by AmaW. We will do this alone, the two of us, however it would be more economical and possibly more fun to find another couple or two other people to join us. If you would like to know additional info on these plans please do not hesitate to email me at: oneputt at sympatico dot ca Please put "Volga river info' or similar as the subject in your email. Also, you can reply here as well. I'll check back soon! Looks like an amazing journey. Best, RiS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoshona2 Posted November 25, 2010 #2 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hi, We are booked on this rivercruise from St Petersburg to Moscow on September 8th, 2011. Looking forward to hearing about your cruise when you return. If you go to the Ports of Call section of Cruise Critic, you can check for names of suggested guides.

cormike1 Posted November 25, 2010 #4 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hi Rissa, We did this trip last July and loved it!!! We used Red October and set up 2 days of private tours going back to places the boat took us to but didn't go in or didn't have enough time, etc. They were amazing to work with. I also have the name of our driver and guide that I would highly recommend. If you would like more info about this email me at m.c.bissonnette@sympatico.ca I live in Ontario but was born in Montreal and my family is still there!!!

shoshona2 Posted November 26, 2010 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hi Corinne, We used Red October for two days in 2003! Good to hear that they were still doing a great job. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kellie Poodle Posted March 12, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 12, 2011 We are not on your sailing, but we'll keep the boat nice and warm for you. We leave Moscow on June 23 for St. Petersburg. I'll be keeping a travel diary and I hope to post excerpts here when I return home on July 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
