Thinking of Russia, two great places immediately come to mind: Moscow and St. Petersburg.

This monumental 13-day Viking River Cruises vacation includes multiple days in both cities, touring such landmarks as Moscow's Kremlin and Red Square as well as Pushkin, Peter & Paul Fortress and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg.

But, there is another side of Russia that only a river cruise can provide — the villages and quaint towns like Yaroslavl, Uglich and Goritzy. See opulent palaces, discover fortified monasteries and visit beautiful cathedrals. It is an unforgettable way to experience the history and culture of this unique and mysterious country.

Your Viking River Cruise itinerary includes all meals, shore excursions, ten guided tours, entertainment and cultural activities...two weeks you will remember forever!

And since your cruise may be a few months away, how about some instant gratification?

One more adventure awaits the two of you as you take a short voyage over to San Francisco's Tsar Nicoulai Caviar Café for an elegant taste of California Estate Osetra and locally inspired appetizers and entr?s.

Spell it Tsar or spell it Czar. Either way, the tsars will be aligned for one lucky bidder today!
