Fodor's Review:

In summer this ship-turned-restaurant has a stunning view as it sails along the Neva River, past the rows of colorful palaces lining its banks. New Island sets sail promptly at 2, 6, 8, and 10:30 PM. In winter, when the river is frozen, glitzy fairy lights adorn the ship, and the boat stays put (and prices go down significantly). Inside, all is simple but refined, including the menu; try the duck carpaccio as a starter. The fried fillet of trout with almonds and the various blini are good. The wine list is extensive and pricey.

  • Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
  • Credit Cards: AE, MC, V
