St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg, som er en av de vakreste byene i verden, ligger i Russland og kalles ofte enten "Nordens Venezia" eller "Østens Paris".

En av de vakreste byene i verden og oppført på UNESCOs verdensarvliste

St Petersburg, som er en av de vakreste byene i verden, ligger i Russland og kalles ofte enten "Nordens Venezia" eller "Østens Paris". Byen har et pulserende kulturliv som ikke står tilbake for noen med alt fra festivalen De hvite netter om sommeren til enestående teater- og ballettforestillinger samt konserter vinterstid.

Hele St Petersburg står oppført på UNESCOs verdensarvliste, og selv erfarne turister vil bli overveldet over byens attraksjoner.

Derfor anbefaler vi på det sterkeste at du forlater MSCs luksusskip og blir med på en av våre utflukter. Da vil du dra fordel av de beste tilbudene og få mest mulig ut av oppholdet i denne fortryllende byen.

Dra på en byrundtur som dekker de viktigste severdighetene i St Petersburg, bl.a. spektakulære Peterhofs palass og parker (Petrodvorets), der Sommerpalasset ligger mellom hager med vakre skulpturer og flotte fontener, og et av verdens beste kunstmuseer, Eremitasjen. Katharina-palasset med den forseggjorte fasaden i blått og hvitt er rett og slett praktfullt innvendig og et annet høydepunkt under oppholdet i St Petersburg.

En ferie i St Petersburg ville ikke være komplett uten et besøk i den utsmykkede Frelseren av blodsutgytelsens kirke med løkformede kupler og en spasertur i den viktigste handlegaten, Nevsky Prospekt.

Ta russisk te i dekorerte bokser, intrikate stabledukker og autentiske pelshatter med deg hjem.

 SPT23 - ERARTA MUSEUM & MATRYOSHKA WORKSHOP (3,5 hours) - 2012
Level of difficulty: easy  Drink  Your tour begins with a drive to a souvenir shop for your Matryoshka workshop and a chance to decorate your very own Russian dolls. After each being given a wooden nesting doll, paints and brushes, guests can then begin decorating at their own workstation while being assisted by an on-site expert. The Matryoshka doll you decorate will then be yours to take home as a memento. You will also have time to browse through the store for a keepsake among the many Russian products and have a cup of tea or coffee. The next stop on the tour is the Erarta, the Museum and Galleries of Contemporary Art. Housed in a five-storey building on Vasilyevsky Island, the Erarta is the largest non-governmental museum of contemporary art in Russia. Before returning to port and your ship, you will have some time to spend exploring the museum’s collection, which includes works by more than 140 contemporary artists from all over the world.
