Value Excursions
DenRus Value Excursions “Complete St. Petersburg” and “Complete Berlin” have become extremely popular during the past 5 Baltic cruise seasons. Each year several thousands of cruisers participate on them. As one of our former passengers wrote: “Value Tours offer an economical higher quality alternative to the overpriced and crowded ship excursions, and inferior independent tours at those same ports”.
| Warning! | Recently, several cheapened imitations of the Complete St Petersburg have been promoted on the web using the same name. Don't be fooled, these do not offer the value of the genuine "Complete St Petersburg" Read more here |
Our first and original 2-day “Complete St. Petersburg” tour was created in 2005 for the purpose that our guests did not need to think and choose in, what short tours they should participate in St. Petersburg, , instead they could just purchase one tour of 2-days duration covering the destination city the maximum possible way including all the “must” sites. During the past years this tour has become a legend, and a household word in the cruise chat rooms and web sites. There is no doubt, as the name says, our tours provide a most complete introduction to St. Petersburg, and to Berlin, as only possible during the limited time allowed.
DenRus is offering “Complete” Tours at the ports of St. Petersburg and Warnemunde (Berlin):

New For 2010
As always we at DenRus carefully listen to the reactions of our guests. Based on the letters received in 2009 we have now added the Catherine’s Palace to the basic 2-day itinerary. So, our guests shall have the unique opportunity to visit both the Peter the Great’s Fountain Park, Peterhof, as well as the palace of his wife, Catherine I in Pushkin town. In the 3-day itinerary both palaces had been included already earlier.
TOUR TIMING
DenRus is ready at the port waiting for you. The “Complete St Petersburg” tours depart from the port as soon as the buses have been filled to the maximum of 30 (25 for the 3-day program) persons each. The earlier you disembark, and report to our port staff, the earlier you will be on your way and the longer your tour. This grants our guests the maximum touring time.
However, in case some passengers are delayed, we have an official starting time, which is the latest time of the departure. This is not later than 75 minutes after the ship’s official scheduled arrival time. The ship’s clearance by the Port of Authority and Immigration at each port takes just 15-20 minutes, and immediately after that the passengers are allowed to disembark. Our DenRus agents are waiting for you right after the Russian Immigration clearance at the pier.
On the first day the tour’s return time back to the ship is at 5:30 PM (17:30). Thus is sufficient time to have a dinner and to prepare for the later Russian Folkloric Show or Classical ballet performance with DenRus. On the day of your departure the tour returns to the port one hour prior to your ship’s scheduled departure time.
TOUR SITES
All the sites and destinations as mentioned in the itinerary are seen and visited with inside tours, except monuments, those sites where “outside visit only” is clearly mentioned, and the city tour and the cruise portions, which are sightseeing and photo stops only. The order in which the sites will be visited is not given because for one day on each week every museum is closed, so we are forced to rearrange the order, so those sites closed on one day will be visited on another day, and vice verse.
