I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the cruise. I knew it would be nicer then an average Russian cruise, but our experience went above and beyond our expectations. The food was fantastic, the service fabulous, the tours interesting. Having lived in St. Petersburg for the last two years, we were just looking for an interesting way to see Kizhi, the Golden Ring and Moscow. Instead, we had one of the best weeks here in Russia.

I was surprised at the quality and variety of the food (especially the vegetables and vegetarian options). Complements to the chef for ingenuity! The best part of spending time on the Volga Dream was getting to meet the crew. They are such a gracious and talented group of people who really went out of their way to make sure everyone had a wonderful journey.

As we say in England, I consider this to be a “tight run ship”. Probably the biggest complement that can be given.

As a feng shui consultant / environmental psychologist, I am very critical about physical spaces and how they affect our feelings and behavior. The Volga Dream is SUPERB. The ship, the food, and the service are excellent. The staff is extremely friendly and always fills your requests. Thank you for one of the most excellent vacations and by far the best river cruise we have taken!

What an amazing cruise! The boat is beautiful, and spotlessly clean, but the crew are the best part – all wonderfully pleasant and helpful, and very nice.

The Volga Dream is a wonderful way to see a beautiful country. We enjoyed the history and the culture of Russia. A rich heritage that all should know.

One of the best “small” ships we have been on. I would recommend this trip to anyone planning a holiday in Russia.

In 45 years of traveling to 65 countries this was the best, most friendly, most helpful, most cheerful, most customer focused service by far. We will highly recommend to others. It was well worth the premium we paid.
