  The jewel in the Baltic crown and Russia’s most European city, St. Petersburg was Tsar Peter the Great’s ‘Window on the West’. St. Petersburg is utterly captivating, with baroque palaces, wide elegant streets, ornate bridges and broad curving canals – the city is built on 40 islands at the mouth of the River Neva. The main street, Nevsky Prospekt, is 5km long and lined with cafés, bars and restaurants mixed in with upmarket hotels and sumptuous shops. On Neva embankment, the Winter Palace, with over a thousand rooms, is merely the most magnificent of six buildings that make up the Hermitage museum. The Hermitage is only one of 125 museums and galleries, not to mention dozens of lavishly decorated churches, that make this one of those cities that visitors want to return to again and again. It is enchanting during the “White Nights” of midsummer, when a brief twilight blends into dawn, and street entertainment lasts throughout the long days and short, white nights.    £140 per cabin on board spending money Full day garden tour (as detailed in your itinerary) Exclusive talks Private drinks party Cabin accommodation with en-suite facilities, TV, hairdryer, telephone, air conditioning All meals & snacks throughout your cruise Tea and coffee during the day/early evening Evening entertainment Daily on board activities On board leisure facilities including swimming pool, Jacuzzis & gymnasium All port taxes No service charge added to on board drinks Baggage porterage to/from cabin  Named after the Scottish home of the Royal Family, Balmoral has accommodation for about 1,300 passengers, through 710 cabins and suites.
