This port of call will be the highlight of your Baltic cruise, and we are very keen to ensure that you love this glorious city as much as we do! The architecture is varied and striking, with golden domed churches, and an astounding number of large and extravagantly decorated palaces, consistently evoking wows from our visitors. The grandest will include Peterhof Grand Palace with its lavish gardens and majestic golden fountains cascading down into the Gulf of Finland, and the Winter Palace within the complex of the State Hermitage Museum, with a collection of some three million works of art and artifacts.
