Anniversary Cruises to St Petersburg

Couples looking for something a little different on their anniversary should consider Baltic cruises to St Petersburg.

Nicknamed the Venice of the North, this beautiful city is perfect for a romantic getaway, whether you want to take advantage of stunning sightseeing opportunities, enjoy a meal with your partner or simply take a stroll.

The city and its monuments are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and this is evident in its amazing architecture and historical wonders.

One of the best times of year to visit is in the summer, when you can take in the White Nights festival.

This extravaganza showcases fantastic ballet, theatre and musical acts, highlighting the region's cultural and historical roots.

The Scarlet Sails event is one of the most popular at White Nights, with a spectacular fireworks display and live performances being a favourite with tourists and locals alike.

Keen to brush up on your cultural knowledge? The Hermitage Museum is one of the oldest and most impressive collections of historically significant items in the world.

More than three million pieces are contained within its walls, although not all are on show at any one time, making it a top tourist attraction in the city.

Those wanting to take a break from the sights can always spend a day shopping at St Petersburg's main shopping district - Nevsky Prospekt.

This is an ideal spot to pick up an anniversary gift for your partner, with the street having numerous high-end boutiques, designer department stores and souvenir markets.
