Our guides speak excellent English and are very knowledgeable. St. Petersburg is like no other cruise port. Ships usually stop there for two, even three days, with preferences for lengthy day tours and evening excursions. The complex visa procedure, safety concerns, travel distances and the need to maximize time ashore means that almost everyone who ventures off the ship does so on a group or private tour.

While your cruise line will likely provide a smorgasbord of tour preferences, from half-day tours to three-day packages, St. Petersburg is one place where you might be better off booking a tour separately of the ship.
Location: St Petersburg, Russia

The area once known as Prussia was the world's largest producer of amber for most of history, and it is still linked with the region today. The golden-colored fossilized tree sap may be found all over the world, but it has long been prized and sold in Eastern Europe, dating back to Roman times.
