Visa Free Saint Petersburg Shore Excursions for Cruise Passengers

Saint Petersburg is the authentic jewel of the Baltic Sea. The majority of cruise lines stay for 1 or 2 days here. No other Baltic port has more dazzling 'must see' sights and the best way to see them is with your own personal tour guide. You'll get a much better experience than the crowded shore excursions offered by your cruise ship.

It's certain you'll want to see glories of the Hermitage, the stunning suburban palaces of Pavlovsk, the fountains of Peterhof and the city's many cathedrals. But using the services of a local, personal tour guide is the best way to see the most interesting parts of Saint Petersburg - those places that only locals know about.

According to the Russian law:

“International cruise ship passengers are permitted to visit Russian ports without a visa for a period of up to 72 hours. Passengers who wish to go ashore during port calls may do so without a visa only if they are part of an organized tour, operated by a licensed Russian tour company approved by the Russian Immigration Service. According to Russian legislation, cruise passengers on organized tours must remain with their tour group and/or a representative of their tour company at all times while ashore. Tour operators affiliated with cruise companies as well as a variety of local tour operators in Russia are licensed to provide tour services to cruise passengers”
