What is the electric voltage on Celebrity cruise ships in Russia?
 
My parents are leaving soon for a cruise from St. Petersburg to Moscow and they're wondering if they need to bring electric adaptors and converters to charge Kindles, cameras, etc.

Thanks!

cruisecritic.com for specific reviews on their ship

but they will have US voltage if overniting at Russian Hotel

though I always bring adaptor/conditioner for expensive

electronics... insuremytrip.com indepecndently of scammy

cruise insurance which I do not take always wise.

Usually Patriot or Amex Global Travel shield from $1 pppd

Tell them Bon Voyage!

Celebrity is an ocean cruise line and does not have ships that travel on the St. Petersburg to Moscow river/canal/lake route.

Generally, most river boats in Russia that cater to North American guests have dual voltage (220/110) outlets in their cabins.

You should check what line your parents are taking and look on that line's website.

True. Its not Celebrity. BTW as for cruise ins. I have used insuremytrip.com B4 and have recently gotten quotes from this site for our cruise in oct. I don't know where the $1.00 pppd comes from.

Whoops! It's Viking not Celebrity. Anyway, thanks for all of your advice. I appreciate it!

The Viking Kirov, on which I have cruised, has outlets for both 220 and 110. I'm quite sure that all Viking Russian boats would have the same.
