 Description: For 10 nights your floating hotel/study site will be your river cruiser. The ship, M/S (Motor Ship) RUSS, run by cruise operator Vodohod, was built in Germany in 1986 and completely refurbished in 2002 and 2007. In 2010 it was freshly painted, with new carpeting installed in the cabins and all public areas, and with new furniture placed in the restaurants and bars. The all-Russian crew and cruise staff are trained to service western travelers, and most of them speak English.

It was founded in 1010 by Prince Yaroslavl the Wise (who according to legend killed a bear on the site) and today retains many noteworthy monuments of its rich history. Of special interest here are the 13th-century Spassky Monastery, a group of 17th-century cathedrals, an elegant rotunda, and remnants of an ancient trading center. Loveliest of all is the Church of the Prophet Elijah, whose frescoes on the walls and vaulting inside the church are a valuable collection of old Russian paintings. Also, visit the Yaroslavl Museum of Russian Art, housed in the former mansion of the governor of Yaroslavl. The second-largest city in Russia in the 17th century, Yaroslavl was the de facto capital of Russia during the Polish occupation of Moscow in 1612 (the so-called "Time of Troubles").
