Cruise by rivers and seas into the history of Imperial Russia and the ancient land of Ukraine. Explore the Far East and North Pole. Get lost in the variety of cultures and nations on the Volga River.

Anyone who has ever visited Russia can tell you it is the adventure of a lifetime, and there is no better way to experience the mystery and romance of this ancient land than on its waterways.

Built specifically for river cruising and completely refurbished to a high standard in 2003-2004, the MS Mayakovskiy is considered one of the finest vessels on Russia's waterways. Passenger capacity for this vessel is restricted to 230, so with 110 crew, standards of service match the best.

All of the MS Mayakovskiy's Main, Middle and Upper Deck cabins are outward facing with windows which open up to spectacular views of Russia's exotic destinations. All cabins have private toilet/shower facilities, refrigerators, forced air controls, radio and ample closet space.
