Our Scenic journey sets sail in Moscow and now lands us in one of Russia's oldest towns Uglich.
Leaving the business of Moscow behind Scenic give you the chance to come and have a look at some of the smaller towns here in Russia.
Where tradition is strong the people are absolutely lovely and if you pay with cash there's some cracker deals.
Yep these are the not-so-secret locations that let you save some money and give you a chance to get to know the locals.
David: “and you love all the tourist boats coming in and all the tourists from around the world coming to visit you?”
Tatiana: “I love all the tourists you see and just we even just happy when we see foreigners and when I hear the words oh I have got what I was looking for you see that is the best”
David: “this is the place to shop”
Uglich is a pretty town, with a pretty dark history this was where the son of the first Russian Tsar was murdered and as you can imagine started a pretty serious uproar, the Church of St Dmitry is his legacy.
They were such hard times back then that even the bell was punished for being rung at the time of his death and it was exiled to Siberia for three centuries.. well I guess it won't do that again.
Just a stone’s throw up the Volga River is the world heritage-listed Yaroslavl; an open-air Museum of Russia's colourful past.
The history that surrounds some of these places you get to visit is absolutely incredible, I mean Yaroslavl has just celebrated its 1000th birthday.
The art frescoes in the Elijah cathedral are some of the best preserved in Russia and get this it's only ever been washed once but somehow it's kept its magic, possibly a bit of divine intervention?
This little town is named after Yaroslavl the wise now he's very educated man that's a given but what he was really smart at is that he married his three daughters of to the French the Norwegian and the Hungarian Kings. Now that is how you make some pretty serious allies..
Allies to protect you and your town for centuries.
While we're cruising between ports Scenic give you the chance to try some of the more traditional crafts like matryoshka dolls and these are meant to be our masterpiece, Billy yours is looking alright
Are you happy with that?
I would be concerned I’m the only woman in this
Not woman
I'll tell you now the matryoshka doll competition is not for the faint-hearted.. too much?
The Scenic Tsar is your home away from home while you’re here in Russia and this boat was specifically designed for this kind of cruising.
This technology you and I wouldn't even understand its luxuriously appointed for the more sophisticated among us.
And your private deck is well.. private.
This is one of the newest vessels in Russia so expect the bes, comfort is everything and you can even check in on the captain to make sure it's smooth sailing all the way to St. Petersburg.
Углич. Музей городского быта. Экспонаты // Uglich. Museum of city life. Exhibits
Дом построен в середине 19 в. для чайной купца Кашинова. В конце века там располагалась публичная библиотека, которая была открыта в честь коронации императора Николая II. За право пользования книгами с читателей взималась плата, кроме учащихся, учителей и служащих канцелярии. Организацией библиотеки город обязан городскому голове Н.Д.Евреинову, секретарю городской управы В.Я.Смирнову и учителю городского училища П.А.Критскому, ставшему её первым заведующим. В 2004г. открыт музей городского быта. Переступив порог этого дома и поднявшись по небольшой лестнице оказываешься вначале в торговой лавке купца, а затем в доме угличанина со средним достатком. Экспонатов в музее очень много и все они распределены по темам. Многие вещи находятся в очень хорошем состоянии.
Входной билет 150р. для взрослых. Кто хочет более детально ознакомиться с бытом купцов в XIXв. лучше взять экскурсию, которая стоит 300р. Фотографировать можно.
House on the Embankment, palace for Stalinist nobility
Many buildings in Moscow stand near the Moskva River, but only one is known as the House on the Embankment -- one of the city's most famous apartment blocks, where happiness and fear lived side by side.

From the haunting beauty of St. Petersburg to the might and splendour of Moscow, Russia remains as intriguing as it ever was. As vast as it is beautiful, there is simply no better way to traverse those distances than along Russia’s wild and majestic waterways.
And the best option by far is the Scenic Tsar, a ship that boasts an incomparable blend of luxury and intimacy. It is the ultimate river cruiser and your home for the next 15 days. Make yourself at home as we immerse ourselves in the many cultures and wonders waiting on the jewels of Russia.
Begin by exploring Catherine’s Block and the fountains in the Lower Garden at Peterhof on an enthralling guided tour. Other Free-choice options today include a visit to Peterhof’s Grand Palace, the sheer opulence of which will astound you.
Ease yourself into the our final day in St Petersburg with a visit to, Catherine’s Palace, famous for its grandiose white and gold façade invites you to walk it’s famed halls and extravagant gardens.
Your Scenic Enrich experience today comes in the form of a delightful lunch, courtesy of the old-world wooden ‘Podvorie’ restaurant. Traditional Russian cuisine awaits, home-grown by the owner at his private summer residence, and he is more than happy to see people enjoy the fruits of his labour.
Explore at you leisure, you never know what wonders you might find, but be sure to re-join us in the evening for your second Scenic Enrich Experience of the day.
You may want to ask your butler to prepare you some suitable evening wear, because a glass of sparkling wine precedes a private Russian ballet concert at the majestic Palace of Prince Vladimir.
As we bid farewell to St. Petersburg after 5 days of discovery and wonder, you’ll have the chance to enjoy a cruise through the city’s canals, passing under many of its 400 bridges.
And in the evening, grab a beverage, join your fellow guests on the sun deck and relish the landscape, as we set sail down the Neva River towards Mandrogi, where we explore this charming museum village for the day’s Scenic Enrich Experience.
In the evening, relax and enjoy all the Scenic Tsar has to offer, as we sail to Kizhi Island…
Allow yourself a little as we glide to our next destination, Yaroslavl. An ancient city dating back to the year 1010, making it even older than the mighty Moscow.
You’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in its rich tapestry of history on a guided tour of its most famous historic sites, before Uglich welcomes us for a guided walking tour of what is part of the Golden Ring of cities surrounding Moscow, which incidentally, happens to be our next destination.
As evening falls, take some time to relax on-board the Scenic Tsar, enjoying the sumptuous facilities on board.
As we cruise steadily towards the city, take the morning to relax on board and indulge in the scenery from one of our viewing decks. Your Tailormade GPS is the perfect on board companion, offering captivating commentary about the sights in view. By the time we arrive in Moscow, after lunch, you’ll no doubt be ready for the day’s adventures.
World-renowned spectacles such as Red Square and the eerily beautiful Saint Basil’s Cathedral wait to make your acquaintance, as fascinating now as they were all those years ago when they were built.
Later, Scenic enjoy Sundowners as you are invited to partake in a refreshing beverage on board and relax as we cruise down the Moskva River, where you can admire Moscow’s fine sights and architecture from the comfort and leisure of the Scenic Tsar’s viewing decks.
The next morning we go from to space as your Scenic Enrich Experience takes you to the Memorial Museum of Cosmonauts. The first man in space was a Russian. Yuri Gagarin was his name, and his story along with the history of space exploration is told here in full, engrossing detail. You’ll even meet a real cosmonaut and no doubt end this out-of-this-world day dreaming of distant planets and galaxies.
Jewels and ceremonial robes await in the State Armoury before the evening delivers a thrilling National Russian Show, performed expertly by fifty folk dancers. Enjoy!

Мышкин. Мартыново. Золотое кольцо России. Myshkin. Martynovo. The Golden ring of Russia.
Очень интересный провинциальный городок Мышкин. И сюда едет много туристов посмотреть, и подивиться тому, какое разнообразие достопримечательностей можно увидеть на небольшом кусочке земли. Здесь и амбары, и мельницы, и старинные механизмы, и валенки и, наконец, Мышкины палаты. Город сам создал себе имя, и показывает достопримечательности и музеи о жизни российской провинции. С 1996 года Мышкин стал активно развиваться как туристический город.

Very interesting provincial town of Myshkin. And there come a lot of tourists to see and marvel at what a variety of sights can be seen on a small piece of land. Here, barns, and mills, and vintage machines, and boots and, finally, Myshkin chamber. The city itself has created a name for itself, and shows landmarks and museums about the life of Russian province.

Our last stop on our Scenic Tours Russian adventure is here in St. Petersburg and what a city to wrap things up.
There's one man who you are going to fall in love with when you come here and that is Peter the Great.
No it's not because of his incredible architecture or phenomenal monuments, it's because of the vision he had for St. Petersburg
Peter the Great wanted this city to shine like no other and with a soft spot for the European lifestyle he brought elegance to Russia, the canals and grand palaces play a starring role in this masterpiece.
Peter did have a good sense of humor though, he would sit his guests down and unbeknownst to them the fountain would go off.
One of Peter’s finest moments was Peterhof Palace, it's 1,000 hectares of fountains and gardens have been used throughout the ages to impress not only royalty but also Scenic guests.
Imagine having this as your backyard.
Catherine the great as her name suggests was also a mover and shaker in the city's history and enjoyed the finer things.
I think you're gonna be waiting a little while for Catherine's palace to come on the market but to give you an idea of value in here there are pieces of amber that are as rare as most unique diamonds on earth so this room alone is priceless.
Once stolen by the Nazis the famous amber room and the Grand Hall of this residence are just some of your Scenic
highlights here in St. Petersburg.
The exquisite beauty and class of Catherine's Palace can only stretch so far as you could imagine with all the royalty and riches of the 18th century artwork was a highly sought-after possession.
I'm pretty confident saying that the Hermitage is one of the very best museums that you will ever see in your life but if you think there's any chance that you're going to see all 3 million exhibits think again it would take you close to 11 years.
The Hermitage is one of the most prestigious museums in the world you'll be happy to know that they're expanding because the current 10 buildings can’t hold all the incredible works.
St. Petersburg is rich in culture and its European lifestyle but it also knows how to party.
Well this morning when I woke up I didn't think I'd be sitting at one of president Putin's favourite restaurants but hey, its Scenic Tours. Cheers!
That water is very strong.
With a mix of tradition, entertainment and special performances setup exclusively for us, I think even Peter the great would be a very happy man.
This trip has really changed my perspective on this country, I was expecting a highly strung more repressive kind of place but it is simply been the total opposite.
The people are very warm and welcoming and there is so much that you need to checkout so from Russia, Privet.

Welcome to the space race, it was the nineteen-fifties and the USA and USSR were in battle to become the first to explore the great unknown.. Of course the Russians got there first so the Americans had some catching up to do.
Scenic have landed us in Moscow at ground zero, no trip to Russia would be complete without a little stop off in Space. That's one small step for man.
The cosmonaut museum gives an insight into the incredible feats of the scientists and astronauts who decided to take on the universe.
In this amazing space race of course the true legends were Belka and Strelka because they were the first living things to return from space and of course came back to a rock star reception.. Well not quite but they did get their photo in the paper.
Moscow’s riches don't just lie in her space program and Scenic send you deep inside the infamous Kremlin to a building known as the armory.
Some of the most expensive gifts and jewels in all of Russia are here in this museum and if you don't think the credit card can handle one of these there's always the gift shop.
The Armory's big draw card are some very expensive-looking eggs designed and crafted by the Fabergé family, the imperial eggs were designed for royalty and this is the best collection anywhere in the world.
If all the jewels and riches are getting you in the mood to spend, Tverskaya street is dangerously close.
This was one of the very first streets in the city and has kilometers of retail therapy and cafes to keep you busy.
There is so much to do here in Moscow and thankfully Scenic Tours give you a little bit of downtime, now not enough to get yourself in trouble but just enough to sample some of the local way of life and if you like the best coffee in Moscow come and see my friends at Cyactbe.
Yes the language is a little difficult to pick up but that's half the fun.
I know that you only want to come to Russia if you get to do it in style so with a little help my friends may I introduce the Scenic Tsar.
Patron: “Martini, shaken not stirred”
Waiter: “Excuse me sir I believe that this is yours”
David: “Wow impressive”
The Scenic Tsar is all-inclusive luxury and here to satisfy your every need with no expense spared on the bubbly stuff, we set sail up the Moscow canal.
We have left Moscow and now we're on our way to St. Petersburg and I do need to introduce captain Oleg; who is part of the wonderful team who are going to make sure that our journey is very very comfortable and since this is a very special captain's dinner I thought that I should get dressed up as well..
So ladies and gentlemen, eye eye captain!
Cheers!
