It\u2019s no coincidence that the majority of cruises to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/destinations\/baltic-cruises\">Baltic capitals<\/a> stop overnight in St. Petersburg, allowing guests to really immerse themselves in this treasure trove of culture and art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one question that always comes up when we\u2019re helping guests choose a summer cruise to the Baltics is how to go about organising a visa for Russia. It\u2019s no secret that applying for a Russian visa can be a complicated and costly experience, thankfully, there is a very simple alternative, booking an organised excursion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paramountcruises.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/St-Petersburg-1-1024x512.png\" alt=\"Peterhof Palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia\" class=\"wp-image-586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/St-Petersburg-1-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/St-Petersburg-1-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/St-Petersburg-1-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/St-Petersburg-1-360x180.png 360w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/St-Petersburg-1-750x375.png 750w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/St-Petersburg-1.png 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The&nbsp;Peterhof Palace&nbsp;in Saint Petersburg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cruise passengers are allowed to visit Russia without a visa for up to 72 hours if they are on an organised tour, however, you will need to remain with your group throughout and cannot wander off and explore independently. All cruise lines offer a variety of different types of tours, but you\u2019re not bound by booking a cruise line tour, you can use any authorised travel agency, however, we\u2019d always recommend doing your research and checking any reviews. Our first recommendation would be to check out our partners\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ventureashore.com\/affiliate\/?mode=company&amp;propId=hcrsngexc&amp;companyId=11590808&amp;r=&amp;&amp;cnt=GB\">Venture Ashore<\/a><a data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"http:\/\/www.cruisingexcursions.com\/affiliate\/paramount-cruises\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cruisingexcursions.com\/affiliate\/paramount-cruises\">\u00a0<\/a>who offer tours which can be cheaper than the cruise line\u2019s offering and will, of course, cover you with regards to the tour group visa. They have one or two-day tours as well as outings to experience a ballet performance or an evening river cruise along the Nera river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever way you choose to explore St. Petersburg, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll come back with some amazing memories and a camera full of incredible photographs to share with your friends and family.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/destinations\/baltic-cruises\"><strong>Find Your Next Baltics Cruise<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No need to be confused about visa requirements for your Baltic cruise, all you need to know is in this post. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":585,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"subtitle":"","format":"standard","video":"","gallery":"","source_name":"","source_url":"","via_name":"","via_url":"","override":[{"template":"1","single_blog_custom":"","parallax":"1","fullscreen":"1","layout":"right-sidebar","sidebar":"","second_sidebar":"","sticky_sidebar":"1","share_position":"","share_float_style":"","show_share_counter":"1","show_view_counter":"1","show_featured":"1","show_post_meta":"1","show_post_author":"1","show_post_author_image":"1","show_post_date":"1","post_date_format":"","post_date_format_custom":"","show_post_category":"1","post_reading_time_wpm":"","zoom_button_out_step":"1","zoom_button_in_step":"1","show_post_tag":"1","show_prev_next_post":"1","show_popup_post":"1","number_popup_post":"1"}],"image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"","single_post_gallery_size":""}],"trending_post_position":"","trending_post_label":"","sponsored_post_label":"","sponsored_post_name":"","sponsored_post_url":"","sponsored_post_logo":"","sponsored_post_desc":""},"jnews_primary_category":{"id":""},"jnews_override_counter":{"view_counter_number":"0","share_counter_number":"0","like_counter_number":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[38],"class_list":["post-584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-destinations","tag-new-to-cruise"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
