Our partner tour operator in Russia operates tours and river cruises on and around the Volga River, plus the Moscow Canal and other tributaries. Many of the host cities for the World Cup are directly situated on these waterways or nearby, so we will be following the rivers for a lot of the tour.

The draw which took place on December 1 sees Australia not drawn in Moscow, St Petersburg or Nizny Novgorod so the ship option is not as possible as it could be so keep an eye out for our full itinerary including accommodation and transport which will be released soon.
