Visit two medieval monasteries in Goritsy, and explore the magical island of Kizhi, home to spectacular wooden churches with glittering domes. Venture to Uglich, founded a thousand years ago, to hear an a cappella choir inside a 15th-century lakeside church. Disembark in Russias capital city, where an optional postlude is offered. Onboard classes in Russian language and cuisine will add to the pleasures of this voyage.
