Emerald Cruises' 11-day Imperial Charms of Russia river cruise takes guests on a journey to rural villages showcasing the traditions of ancient folk communities.

For those with a little more time, a 12-day alternative of the above itinerary is also available – offering up more time to explore the Imperial Capital of St. Petersburg.
