Russian Visas for Cruise Passengers Visiting St Petersburg - Information

Cruise liners visiting St Petersburg have special arrangements for passengers taking part in their own group excursions. These excursions are pre-defined and can prove expensive, but do not require you to pre-purchase a Russian visa. Many cruise passengers  however, prefer to obtain their own visa to enable them to explore the city on their own. Please contact our visa team for full details, costs and time-scales - visas@aslatravelgroup.com . Costs, and timescales depend upon nationality, residency, where you are applying for the visa - and how much time you can be without a passport. Important note: passengers on river-cruises on the Volga River between Moscow and St Petersburg ALL require a Russian visa.

Thank you.
