Finally, a chance to visit, and stay overnight in, St Petersburg without the need for a visa. Guests need to depart from, and return to, Helsinki by ship, so this makes an ideal add-on to any Helsinki stay. This 5 day program includes 2 nights on-board ship + 2 nights in first class hotel accommodation in St Petersburg. The package includes transfers between the St Petersburg port and hotel, and sightseeing tours can be purchased on-board.
Visit Russia visa-free. That includes everyone, all nationalities. And you can stay overnight in any hotel accommodation. To qualify for this special visa-free status though, guests must arrive and depart on the scheduled cruise ship which runs between Helsinki and St Petersburg.
