The Russian Federation, better known simply as Russia, is a country that stretches over a vast expanse of Europe and Asia. It is the largest country in the world, nearly twice the size of the United States of America. It spans from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean and from China to as far north as the Arctic Ocean. Russia was formed in 1991 after the breakup of the Soviet Union and is one of the largest countries in the world.

Visitors taking the opportunity to explore Russia will not be disappointed: its impressive museums, overwhelming sense of history, culture and unspoiled wilderness will leave one with a desire to see more.

You can visit one city at time or maximize your Russian adventure by taking a classic river cruise from Saint-Petersburg to Astrakhan, or legendary Trans-Siberian Express across Russia from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok that links Moscow, most of Ural, southern-Siberia, and the Far East's major cities: Chelyabinsk, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Novokuznetsk, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Khabarovsk, and Vladivostok.

No matter what destination you choose to travel to in Russia, they are all unique and each of them will provide an experience that will make a mark in your memory forever.
