Boat & Ferry Travel in Moscow

Moscow has two river ports: Severny Rechnoy Vokzal (Northern River Terminal; used for long-distance passengers), on the Khimki reservoir, and Yuzhny Rechnoy Vokzal (Southern River Terminal). However, international cruise lines offering tours to Russia usually disembark in St. Petersburg and continue from there by land. It is possible, however, to book a two-way cruise, through Volga-Flot Tur, from Moscow along the Moscow-Volga canal, which makes for a pleasant way to see the Golden Ring town of Yaroslavl. Some 129 km (80 mi) long, the canal links the Russian capital with the Volga, which flows to the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, the White Sea, and the Azov Sea.
