Emerald Waterways has launched a new brochure, Russian Waterways 2021, featuring voyages on the newly refurbished MS Nizhny Novgorod.
The river-ship, built to sail Russia?s waterways, including the longest river in Europe- the Volga, will begin sailings in May 2021.
The brochure features two Russian itineraries. The 11-day Imperial Charms of Russia river cruise allows guests to discover the traditional villages and vibrant cities, as they sail from St Petersburg to Moscow, with guided tours of both cities, a Shashlik lunch in the picturesque village of Mandrogi, a visit to the Monastery of St. Cyril on the White Lake, and an exploration of the historical, architectural and artistic reserve, known as Kremlin Grounds.
Agents can also offer their clients the reverse 12-day itinerary, with an extra day in St Petersburg at the end; which allows guests to visit Peterhof and its collection of gilded fountains, state-lined lanes and canals that make up the Lower Peterhof.
Joseph Grimley, director of trade sales, Emerald Waterways says: ?We are confident that our new Russian brochure will provide agents with the inspiration and tools they need, for their clients booking for 2021. The world may be in a very different place at the moment; however, we are optimistic that consumers will be inspired by the new programme and will look forward to secure their trip for 2021.?
?Emerald Waterways? commitment to the guest experience, and their health, safety and wellbeing remains our priority. Our global management team is working closely with Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and government health agencies, around the world, to continue to provide each and every guest, with the uttermost confidence while on board with us.?
