7. Volga River
The Volga River runs through Russia, and is so important to Russian culture that in most folk tales and stories it is referred to as “Mother Volga.” There are many Russian Orthodox churches and shrines located on the banks of the river. Taking a cruise along the Volga gives you a chance to see major cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as the often-unexplored heartland of Russia. Cruises pass through different villages in the central plain of Russia, which gives passengers the chance to see an authentically Russian way of life usually untouched by foreigners.
