MS Kronstadt

Overview

Nothing is better than a cultural cruise through Russia to discover the historic and religious foundations of one of the largest empires in the world. From Moscow to Saint Petersburg, follow the Russian Rivers and revel in the charm of typical villages and lovely landscapes. We'll bring daily Russian life directly to you-whether in the cities or in the countryside, visiting the symbolic Kremlins and most magnificent Cathedrals.

Health Formalities

There are no compulsory vaccinations required although inoculation against diphtheria is strongly recommended.

Currency

On board the ship and at port of calls, the currency is the Ruble. The Ruble cannot be bought in advance and must be obtained on site. 1 Euro = approx. 73. The Euro and US Dollar are both now more commonly found in use. Credit cards are becoming more widely accepted. We do not recommend Travellers' Cheques. You can't exchange money on board the ship.

Climate

The weather in the area is extremely cold in the winter and hot in the summer, with very short springs and falls. Spring arrives at the end of April in Moscow. The weather is usually sunny and it warms up quickly, but temperatures fall again during the evening. Once June arrives, summer is in full season. It is often very hot in Moscow, with frequent thunderstorms. It is a bit more temperate on the Baltic coasts or in Saint Petersburg, where the White Nights can be chilly. Autumn can be unpredictable. From September onward, warm days alternate with cold days in both Moscow and Saint-Petersburg.

Your Luggage

Bring seasonal clothing and comfortable shoes for the visits. Many tours are on foot and the streets have cobblestones. Remember to bring sweaters and rain gear, as well as evening attire for dinners and particularly for the Captain's Dinner.

Excursions and visits may have to take place in a different order or have to be cancelled altogether without warning.

"White Nights" in Saint Petersburg from Late May Till Early July

No other major European city can rival the experience nor the atmosphere on the streets of St. Petersburg during the White Nights - lively, friendly, romantic and bustling with people throughout the night as well as the day!

CroisiEurope River Cruises

General

"MORE THAN FORTY YEARS AGO, the founder, Gerard Schmitter, brought CroisiEurope to life through his trailblazing spirit.

Today the Schmitter family continue that legacy."

When river cruising was a privilege for the wealthy, CroisiEurope developed an affordable cruising concept offering the best value in river cruises at great prices, and appealing to every traveler.

This was possible thanks to our involvement in all the steps: from the simple idea to the construction of our ships, the assembly of our crews, and the full integration of sales and logistical (purchasing, cuisine and maintenance) teams. Your pleasure is our priority, and we aim to provide just that in the comfort of our boats and the quality of the service you receive when dining. We call on all our expertise to better serve you, including working in partnership with some of the most renowned French chefs, such as Paul Bocuse and Marc Haeberlin.

Operating 50 company-owned ships and five chartered vessels, the CroisiEurope river cruise company is proud to be the greatest river ship owners in Europe. Although the Rhine and its tributaries and the Danube remain the major river cruise destinations in Europe, we knew how to develop creative itineraries that appeal to everyone. But we also knew it was important to expand our cruises to unique destinations. These include the Seine and the Rhone, of course, but also the Tisza in Hungary, the Guadalquivir in Spain, the Douro in Portugal, the Dordogne and the Garonne in Bordeaux. Don’t forget our more exotic destinations as well: the Mekong in Vietnam and the lake Kariba in Southern Africa.

"Today, we are truly proud to offer you the largest variety of destinations within Europe."

Our founder’s pioneering spirit has been passed down through the generations. After having developed the novel concept of a Sea cruise on the Adriatic aboard a 200-passenger, top-comfort and high-tech ship (La Belle de l’Adriatique), CroisiEurope revamped the feel of cruising the French canals in Alsace, Burgundy, Oise Valley, Champagne, Upper Loire, Provence, and Paris with a fleet of new, modern and comfortable hotel barges.

With just 12 cabins, these barges bring you to the heart of each one of these regions to discover the hidden treasures awaiting you. As a French company we were proud to be the first and only line to launch river cruises on the Loire. In a worldwide premier, our new revolutionary boat equipped with a paddle wheel will bring you into the interior of a mythical region like you have never experienced before. Alsatian, but French. French, but European.

CroisiEurope knew how to become global by providing cruises in some of the world’s most fabulous destinations. And it’s with this passion, friendliness, and professionalism that we welcome you aboard our fleet.

"The Schmitter Family and the valuable employees and crew members of CroisiEurope thank you for your patronage, and invite you to make your dreams our destinations this year."
