St. Petersburg’s Church Of Saviour on Blood.
The staple of nearly every Baltic cruise itinerary, St. Petersburg serves as the jumping-off point to any number of famous Russian landmarks, including the Winter Palace, Palace Square, and the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world.
Most cruises calling on St. Petersburg stay here overnight, giving guests an opportunity to experience even more of this historically significant city, which has carried the monikers Petrograd and Leningrad in the past.
There’s another compelling reason to visit via cruise ship: Tourist visas are granted to passengers going ashore on ship-sponsored tours, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming visa applications.
