Letter to Travelers:

Dear travelers,

Imperial River Cruises is a division of New Way Group, Ltd. located in Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York. This is the beginning of another full season that this company will be promoting cruises in both Russia – on the Volga River and Ukraine – on the Dniper River. The staff however, has approximately 20 years worth of experience and specializes in these cruises. We have been working with our ship operator in Russia, Orthodox Cruise Company for many years now and have developed an excellent program and fabulous price. The benefits do not end in a price, however. The ships that we offer our clients are amongst the best on these rivers.

This season Imperial River Cruises will offer to our clients much more ships, programs and schedules. Our fleet of ships will various itineraries give you an excellent chance to choose your personal schedule and exiting programs for travelling to Russia and Ukraine.

Our programs have been designed to not only meet the expectations of our clientele but to exceed them. We not only offer cruises in Russia going from Moscow to St. Petersburg (or v.v.) like other companies in the industry but, we have developed a program that includes tours to Golden Ring Cities, Mysterious Solovki Island and museum of GULAG camp, White Sea Beluga ( unique White Whales) watching, and very popular cruise with Russian National Orchestra. We are very proude about this program and trust that it will bring a new excitement to this product. Customer service is our main commitment and therefore we do everything possible to make our clients’ experience a pleasurable one.  

We provide our clients with three full meals daily (vegetarian or special menu available on request), a reception with the Captain and a Farewell Dinner, comprehensive sightseeing programs in various ports of call, on-board activities, nightly entertainment and dancing. We also offer numerous optional tours while in Moscow and St. Petersburg , Kyiv and Odessa. While travel insurance, private transfers and visas are not included in our packages we can arrange for them at an additional cost. And for the next year we have very good news for travelers to Ukraine: US citizen are not required visa for visiting Ukraine! Upon receipt of payment we will send you vouchers, luggage tags, suggestions on what to bring, travel  tips and hints for Russia and Ukraine on how to make your stay more enjoyable. 

We are also offering land tours for our clients year-round. We are very excited about being able to extend our season and making Russia and Ukraine available to potential customers all year. All land programs include a stay in top hotels and sightseeing tours and are provided through one of the leading land operator for Russia & Ukraine.
