About the Book
The book is an account of an 11-day river cruise across the waterways of northwestern Russia on cruise ship River Victoria taken by the authors in the late summer of 2013. Coverage begins in Moscow and ends in Saint Petersburg with three days spent in each of these two megacities. The book is made up of nearly 250 carefully selected photographs, each one accompanied by a well-researched descriptive text providing a well-balanced overview of the geography, the history and the social trait of the region as well as a portrayal of what life was like on board the River Victoria.
