YouTube Video Description

Join me in St Petersburg, Russia as we take a walking tour and visit the Church of the savior on spilled blood. This was part of a Baltic cruise that we took in September 2018. We decided to take a ship excursion in Russia due to the visa's required to visit Russia alone. It is possible to get your own visa and visit Russia alone/on a private tour but in this instance, we thought it would be easier to take a ship excursion and let the cruise line sort out the visas. We head back to the Marella Discovery for dinner in 47 degrees before spending the evening in Bar Eleven, the theatre and at karaoke!
