River cruising on the M/s Repin

[Kiwisue]

:) Hi, we are new to this game and are looking forward to doing a river cruise between Moscow and St. Petersburg in early July 2007. This is to be on the M/S Repin and I am interested to hear any comments from people who have sailed on this cruise ship and whether the purchase of a suite would be recommended.

 

Thanks Kiwisue

Kiwisue -

 

Out of curiosity - are you going on this as part of a college alumni trip?

 

The school I work at has a trip planned on this same ship in May of 2007 as an alumni trip. I tried to find out about the ship (on the internet) and the best I could figure out is that the ship is chartered all summer for groups - and from what I could tell, they were all alumni groups booked through a specific alumni travel agency.. I couldn't figure out who owns the ship or much about the ship.

 

I looked at going on the trip and decided against it because our group's sailing did not go to St. Petersburg. I booked with Amadeus instead. I later found out that the alumni agency would provide an optional trip to St. Petersburg. Our school used the same alumni travel agency last year to Italy and thought the trip was first class.
