In a few months we will be arriving in the Moscow SVO airport and need to get to where the river boats go to St Petersburg. How much can we expect to pay for a taxi to get us there? How can we arrange for a taxi ahead of time? Since we are using our Frequent Flyer miles to get to Moscow, our tour company wants $50 each to get us to the boat. We are both senior citizens. How can we arrange a safe abd reasonable trip to the Boat. ([email protected])

Have a look at waytorussia.net you should be able to get it for less. 50$ is not an unusual amount. The distance to the River Port is not far, both SVO2 and the river port are on the north side of the city. What ever you do, do not arrive without arranged transportation or knowledge of the local transport system. With a bus to the river port metro station and 30 min walk you can get to the boat for less than $1.

Which boat are you going on? I am going with Orthodox Cruise line from Constana in Romania to St Petersburg on the Shevchenko, from 13 May - 2 Jun.

Another transfer service, I have used them, is at:

The Russian word for river port is "Rechnoy Vokzal"
