Last July I took the ship from Moscow to St.Petersburg for 2 weeks. The ship is standard river boat but not too crampted. Food was all right, crew were quite friendly.

If there is anything else I could help?

To Shirleyt,

As accompanied my parents,I only took few options. It seemed some of them not really worthwhile. Besides you won't have time for everything.

You could pay in U.S. dollars or Roubles.

Except one evening for the dress party,most people didn't dress up,just sort of casual smart,what people wear to town at home.

I am afraid I don't know about packing shorts,as it was still quite chilly at night in July. I heard there was even frost in June. Besides, with the concern of bugs,perhaps it is better cover up. It really depends on how you are used to the weather, I think a light-weight jacket is essential.
