Unique Features

Purpose-built for Russia's waterways.

Disabled Facilities

Any disability requiring special attention must be reported to APT at the time of booking. APT will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the special needs of disabled cruise participants, but is not responsible for any denial of services by carriers, hotels, restaurants, or other independent suppliers. Tour buses are not equipped with wheelchair ramps and cabin doors are not wide enough to allow access by standard wheelchairs.

Wheelchairs and walkers cannot be carried on tour buses, due to space limitations. Wheelchair passengers should be aware of these limitations. For safety reasons, passengers in wheelchairs cannot be carried on ramps in ports where the ship is at anchor. We regret that we cannot provide individual assistance to a tour member for walking, getting on/off tour busses and other transportation vehicles, or other personal needs. A qualified travel companion must accompany travellers who need assistance. 

Dress Code

The dress code is relaxed. Light, comfortable clothing

is ideal for during the day, but smart casual clothing

for evenings on board the ship is recommended. You

may wish to bring something a little dressier for the

Welcome and Farewell dinners and any special events,

however there will be no black tie or formal evenings.

We recommend that you pack a variety of light to

medium weight clothing, plus rain-wear in case of cooler

or wet weather. Layers are a good option to cover a

range of temperatures and to suit changing conditions.

Comfortable footwear is imperative, as some excursions

involve walking steps or ramps to embark/disembark.

If your sightseeing includes churches, monasteries,

synagogues or mosques, dress casually and ensure

sufficient body cover (for example cover your shoulders

and wear trousers or a knee-length dress).

Dietary Requirements

Please advise the APT reservation agent at time of booking of any special dietary requirements you may have and we will make every effort to accommodate your request. Please note that not all diets are possible. 

Smoking Policy

Smoking is only allowed on the sun deck of all ships.
