We have designed several options for your visa-free one day cruise tour of St Petersburg. The first shore excursion allows you to see all the most important attractions of the city in details, while the second one also includes a brief visit to the famous fountain park in Peterhof (can be replaced with a visit to the Catherine palace in Tsarskoe Selo). As a rule, we run only private shore excursions in St Petersburg, but feel free to post a roll-call on Cruise critic or contact us and we will try to find someone to join you.
