My husband and I felt that we knew so little about Russia, and we were, therefore, anxious to take a Viking cruise to learn more.
We had been on a previous Viking cruise down the Rhone, but this cruise offered so much more, including spending more time in Russia and learning more about a country we weren't familiar with.
The ship, although older than the one we had taken on the Rhone River, still offered plenty of room, and we were looked after, not only on the ship but also on the shore.
