We enjoyed our holiday
to Russia in 1997 so much that we lept at the chance
to go again the following year with the same company,
Noble Caledonia. Once again, our holiday started in
Moscow and returned to the beautiful towns on the
Golden Ring - Uglich, Kostroma and Yaroslavl - but
then we headed South, sailing along the length of
the Volga river to Astrakhan on the Caspian Sea before
turning back upstream to join the Volga-Don Canal
to Rostov-on-Don on the Sea of Azov. From there we
returned to Moscow by train. This epic tour took 18
days. |
