We would liki to thank you for making our 50th anniversary cruise such a wonderful experience. We would especially liki to thank you for making the arrangements so we could visit Baby Home 7 where our youngest granddaughter lived for the first 18 months of her life. It was wonderful to see some of her caretakers, who remembered her, and to toour the home and see the addition of many educational and enrichment facilities and equipment. Of course, the trip was enriched by our guide, Luba, who provided historical insight to all the wonderful places we visited. St. Petersburg is a beautiful city and we were able to enjoy its many historic sites through your careful planning and Luba's skill at navigating the crowds at some of the locations. We will always remember our journey and experiences...

You will get to meet the 2 prominent Russian tsars in person: the Tsar Bell and the Tsar Cannon, the biggest in the world.
