TravelLiz Posted February 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2019 We're booked on the July 18, 2019 Baltic cruise. My husband uses a cane and can't do a lot of stairs. I'm looking at the accessible tour offered by Silversea and I wonder if anyone else has done it? If so could you describe it a bit and say whether you'd recommend it? https://www.silversea.com/destinations/northern-europe-british-isles-cruise/stockholm-to-copenhagen-5921.html#lb-shorex-10015944 I would also consider a private tour with a land operator --- any suggestions there? Thanks a lot - we just did our first cruise this month - we took Silversea our of San Juan Puerto Rico. It was lovely. Booked the Baltic cruise whilst on board.

alithecat Posted February 27, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Can't answer your specific tour question. But wanted to make you aware of visa requirements. You do not need a Russian visa if you are on a ship's tour. You do need a visa if you want to disembark and explore on your own. I am not sure if you need a visa to take a private tour. Check this out with the tour operator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RachelG Posted February 28, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2019 St. Petersburg and Russia in general—not very accessible to anyone with walking problems. Lots of stairs. I would stick with the accessible tour as presumably they have things figured out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione60 Posted March 7, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2019 You don't need a visa if you book directly with an official tour operator. We did it in Summer 17, I highly recommend it. For a price lower than a Silversea tour, you can get your own private tour, with a private car, and of course if you want no stairs etc. you arrange that, it certainly is possible!
