The Renaissance of Elegant Travel to Eastern Europe and Russia


Waterways of the Tsars on the Volga Dream
“The moon shone beautifully and the harbour looked too lovely with the lit up ships especially the Standart.”

-Emperor Nicholas II writing to Empress Alexandra, 22nd September 1898.
Since the reign of Peter the Great, sailing the waterways of Russia was a regular feature of the lives of the Romanovs.  The Imperial yacht Standart, of Nicholas II, was so elegant and so well appointed that she was the envy of every monarch in Europe.

In keeping with this grand tradition, Exeter International’s Waterways of the Tsars allows guests to explore the ancient villages of rural Russia as the Romanovs did, in complete luxury and comfort.  Envision enjoying this voyage from the deck of a fabulous riverboat as it glides through the lakes, rivers and canals that connect Moscow and St. Petersburg.
