Shoei J-Cruise II Test: der offene Helm, der sich für einen Integralhelm hält.

Seite Inhalt

Shoei J-Cruise II Test: teurer, aber hochwertiger offener Helm.

Der J-Cruise Helm von Shoei ist schon seit einigen Jahren auf dem Markt und hat sich einen guten Ruf als qualitativ hochwertiger, offener Helm erworben, der sich aber für einen Vollvisierhelm hält.

Das liegt daran, dass Shoei es so konzipiert hat, dass es so ziemlich alle Funktionen eines Vollvisierhelm nur ohne den Kinnbügel.

Die Original J-Cruise wurde sehr gut aufgenommen, und es wurden kaum Schwachstellen gemeldet. Jetzt geht es also an die schwierige Aufgabe, den J-Cruise durch einen Helm zu ersetzen, der noch besser ist als das Original.

Shoei hat also diesen ersten Helm genommen und versucht, den J-Cruise II in mehr oder weniger allen Bereichen zu verbessern. Sie sagen, es ist etwas leichter, bessere Belüftung, hat improved Aero, eine bessere Abdichtung Hauptvisier und eine etwas tiefere Sonnenblende.

Aber dann sagen sie alle etwas in dieser Richtung, wenn ein Helm eingeführt wird.

Also, hier ist, wie die Shoei J-Cruise II tatsächlich ist - aus den Kommentaren und Meinungen von Fahrern rund um das Internet, die tatsächlich eine besitzen.

• Glasfaser zusammengesetzte AIM-Schale
• Vier Schalengrößen (das sind viele)
• Herunterfallen Sonnenblende
• Integriertes Bluetooth : SRL/SRL2
• Pinlock bereites Visier ( Pinlock nicht enthalten)
• Mikrometrisches Befestigungselement
• Größen XS-XXL
• Rechnen Sie mit einem Preis von £430-£540

Wo kann man am besten eine Shoei J-Cruise II kaufen?

Bitte klicken Sie unten, um die Seiten der Shoei J-Cruise II Helme auf unserer Empfohlene Geschäfte . Und wenn Sie bei einem von ihnen kaufen, erhalten wir eine kleine Summe aus dem Verkauf, ohne dass Ihnen zusätzliche Kosten entstehen - eine enorme DANKE! (auf diese Weise finanzieren wir die Website).

Insgesamt/Zusammenfassung

Wenn Sie sich unsere Gesamtbewertung des Shoei J-Cruise II am Ende der Seite ansehen, werden Sie feststellen, dass er nicht besonders gut abgeschnitten hat. Das liegt prowahrscheinlich daran, dass einer der Faktoren, nach denen wir Helme bewerten, ist Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis - und die J-Cruise II ist bei weitem nicht das beste Angebot.

Und weil es ein Integralhelm Auch bei der Sicherheitsbewertung wird es Punkteabzüge geben.

Mit seinem AIM-Gehäuse, das in der Regel gut abschneidet bei SHARP Sicherheitsprüfungen und eine gute Bewertung für die Geräuschdämmung (jedenfalls für einen offenen Helm) ist es immer noch eine der höchsten Bewertungen, die wir einem Helm ohne Kinnbügel gegeben haben. Und das will schon etwas heißen.

Denn wenn Geld keine Rolle spielt und Sie einen offenen Helm wollen, dann ist der Shoei J-Cruise II ein hervorragender Helm. Er ist hervorragend konstruiert. Er verwendet die bewährte Schalentechnologie von Shoei. Und das Doppelvisiersystem ist hervorragend - obwohl bei diesem Preis eigentlich ein Pinlock-Antibeschlag im Lieferumfang enthalten sein sollte.

Und ein Besitzer nach dem anderen, den wir getroffen haben, liebt seine J-Cruise II.

Wenn Sie also insgesamt nach einer hohe Qualität Wenn Sie einen offenen Helm suchen, der in Bezug auf Komfort, Aerodynamik und Funktionen wie ein Integralhelm wirkt, dann müssen Sie nicht weiter suchen als den Shoei J-Cruise. Er ist wirklich sehr gut.

 (mehr über die Sicherheit von Helmen)

Wie immer, wenn es um die Sicherheit eines offenen Helms geht, müssen wir zuerst etwas sagen, das in die Richtung geht: "Es wird nicht so protective sein... es gibt keinen Kinnbügel, also könnte es unangenehm werden, wenn man abfällt.

So, ich denke, das war's dann auch schon. Es ist ein offenes Gesicht, also erwarte nicht, dass es dein Kinn/Gesicht/Nase vor Schlägen schützt, wenn du einen Aus hast.

Wenn Sie wirklich die Freiheit eines offenen Helms brauchen, aber etwas wollen, das Sie auch protect, dann wie über die Prüfung einer dieser modulare Helme, die in puncto Sicherheit am besten abschneiden stattdessen?

Nein? OK, dann eben mit offenem Gesicht.

In diesem Fall scheint der J-Cruise so protective zu sein, wie man es von einem offenen Helm erwarten kann. Nicht nur, dass die Seiten schön tief herunterkommen, um Ihnen etwas protection unten am Kinn zu bieten, sondern die AIM-Schale von Shoei verwendet die gleiche Helmtechnologie, die auch in einigen ihrer Integralhelme verwendet wird.

Es handelt sich nicht um die technologisch fortschrittlichste Helmschalenkonstruktion - das sind die AIM+-Schalen. Aber es ist ein solides Helmschalenmaterial, wie andere AIM-Helme beweisen, die ziemlich gut abschneiden, wenn SHARP testet sie.

Zum Beispiel, die Retro Shoei Glamster's bekam eine AIM-Hülle, die im Test von SHARP mit 4 von 5 Sternen bewertet wurde. Dasselbe gilt für die Ex Zero und Neotech II - beide AIM-Gehäuse und beide mit 4 Sternen bewertet.

Wenn man also bedenkt, dass jeder mit AIM beschossene Shoei eine  Vier-Sterne-Bewertung (abgesehen vom Original GT Air die drei Sterne erhalten hat), müssten wir sagen, dass, wenn SHARP die Schale des J-Cruise II testen würde (was sie nicht tun werden, weil sie keinen Kinnbügel hat), dann würde sie pro wahrscheinlich 4 Sterne erhalten.

Natürlich ist es nicht nur die Schale, die hier am Werk ist. Es ist auch das stoßdämpfende Innenfutter darunter. Und im Fall des J-Cruise II ist es ein Multi-Denisity-Liner, wie man ihn heutzutage bei den meisten ihrer Modelle findet. Das sollte die Aufgabe also gut erfüllen.

Es ist auch toll zu sehen, dass es in vier verschiedenen Versionen hergestellt wird Schalengrößen . Das ist genau das, was Sie bei einem Helm der Spitzenklasse wie dem J-Cruise 2 sehen wollen, und bedeutet, dass der Helm, den Sie kaufen, in Bezug auf Passform, Größe und Sicherheit gut optimiert sein sollte.

Das bedeutet, dass es jeweils eine Schalengröße gibt, die die Größen XS-S, M, L und XL-XXL abdeckt.

Außer der Helmschale erhalten Sie Optisch korrektes Visier und Sonnenblende, um die Verzerrung zu verringern, und die Sonnenblende, um Blendung an sonnigen Tagen zu vermeiden.

Und das Hauptvisier ist Pinlock-fähig (Pinlock leider nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten), so dass die Montage eines Pinlock das Beschlagen des Visiers ziemlich gut verhindern sollte (siehe Visierabschnitt unten).

Die J-Cruise II verwendet auch ein Metallbefestigung micrometric die besonders einfach zu bedienen sind - achten Sie nur darauf, dass der Gurtversteller von Zeit zu Zeit nachgezogen wird, damit sich Ihr Helm nicht lösen kann.

Alles in allem macht der J-Cruise II einen guten Job als protective Helm; nur nicht annähernd so protective wie ein Full Face oder der die sichersten Module .

Helmgeräusch

(mehr über helmgeräusche).

OK, der J-Cruise II ist also ein offener Helm, der sich für einen Integralhelm hält. Aber offene Helme sind immer laute Helme, nicht wahr, was mit all dem großen Bereich, um Wind rasseln um und Lärm in kriechen zu lassen?

Das scheint bei der J-Cruise II aber nicht der Fall zu sein.

Man kann mit Fug und Recht behaupten, dass Shoei sich bei der Aero des J-Cruise II ziemlich viel Mühe gegeben hat, indem sie ihn im Windkanal geformt haben, um den Luftwiderstand und damit die Geräuschentwicklung zu reduzieren. Sie haben auch einige Ohrpolster nach innen geschoben und das Visier enger anliegend gestaltet, um die Luft umzuleiten. All das sollte die Geräuschentwicklung während der Fahrt reduzieren.

Ich vermute auch, dass die Erwartungen vieler J-Cruise-Besitzer in Bezug auf die Geräuschunterdrückung ziemlich niedrig sind. Ich meine, man kauft einen offenen Helm, also erwartet man, dass es ein bisschen windig und laut ist, oder?

Aber wie gesagt, die Wahrnehmung von Lärm wird immer nur eine Wahrnehmung sein.... Es kommt darauf an, was Sie denken. Und im Fall des J-Cruise II sagen die meisten Besitzer, dass sie mit dem Geräuschpegel unterwegs mehr als zufrieden sind und dass er für einen offenen Helm sehr leise ist.

Natürlich müssen Sie zunächst sicherstellen, dass Sie die richtige Passform haben. Bei der J-Cruise II bedeutet das, dass Sie eine mittel oval Und wenn Sie zwischen zwei Größen liegen, sollten Sie unbedingt eine Nummer größer kaufen, denn wir haben von Besitzern gehört, denen ihre Helme zu eng waren, als sie an der Schwelle standen.

Aber 1TP132Wenn man die passende Größe erwischt und die richtige Kopfform hat, dann scheint der J-Cruise II einer der leisesten Helme mit offenem Gesicht zu sein.

Im Vergleich zum leiseste Helme insgesamt (einschließlich Integralhelme), es probably rangiert um Durchschnitt. Aber das ist sehr leise für ein offenes Gesicht und eine großartige Leistung der Ingenieure des Shoei.

(mehr über Helmbelüftung)

Die Belüftung ist einer der Schlüsselbereiche, an denen Shoei bei der J-Cruise II gearbeitet hat.

Da es sich um einen offenen Helm handelt, sollte man meinen, dass man die nötige Belüftung erhält, ohne sich wirklich anstrengen zu müssen.

Hinzu kommt, dass der alte J-Cruise-Helm ohnehin eine sehr gute Belüftung aufwies, selbst mit nur einer einzigen Belüftungsöffnung oben.

Aber Shoei hat sich nicht auf seinen Lorbeeren ausgeruht. Sie haben die Helmschale überarbeitet, um sie kompakter und mit besseren Aero-Eigenschaften pro zu machen und haben 3 große Öffnungen auf der Oberseite geklebt, nur um sicherzustellen, dass eine Tonne Luft durchkommt.

Shoei schätzt, dass sich die Belüftung gegenüber dem alten Helm um etwa 20-30% impro verbessert hat. Was schön ist.

Was nicht ganz so toll ist, ist die Tatsache, dass die entsprechende hintere Entlüftungsöffnung eigentlich nur aus ein paar kleinen Löchern besteht, wodurch der Luftstrom insgesamt etwas eingeschränkt zu sein scheint, wie ein Besitzer berichtet.

Dennoch sind sich die meisten Besitzer einig, dass die Kopfbelüftung des J-Cruise II großartig ist und genau dann, wenn man sie braucht, viel Luft über den Kopf strömen lässt.

Und wenn es kälter wird, sind diese drei Belüftungsöffnungen alle 3-fach verstellbar, mit einer halboffenen und einer geschlossenen Position, die alle mit großen handschuhfreundlichen Schiebern bedient werden.

(mehr über Visiere)

Das Hauptvisier des J-Cruise 2 ist riesig und bietet Ihnen eine großartige Sicht auf die Straße, Ihre Uhren und so ziemlich alles um Sie herum, selbst wenn das Visier heruntergeklappt ist.

Es ist auch ein optisch korrektes Visier, was bei einem so großen Visier sehr nützlich ist. Und es ist auch schnell zu ändern, so dass Sie es schnell abziehen können, indem Sie einfach das Visier öffnen, dann drücken Sie einen Hebel auf beiden Seiten und ziehen Sie es frei.

Genau wie der alte J-Cruise-Helm verwendet er einen Low-Tech-Verschluss mit Stiften und Löchern, um das Visier geschlossen zu halten. Obwohl dieses System so alt ist wie die Berge (und prowahrscheinlich noch älter!), scheint es gut zu funktionieren, denn wir haben im Internet niemanden gefunden, der sich darüber beschwert hat. Job fertig.

Ein paar nützliche Links...

– Alle unsere Shoei Helme Bewertungen – – Offene Helme Bewertungen –

Überraschenderweise meinten viele Besitzer eines offenen Helms, sie könnten einen problem mit Beschlag haben. Ich denke, das passiert, wenn man ein so großes und gut abgedichtetes Visier auf einem Helm macht - auch wenn es ein offenes Gesicht ist.

Das sollte bei der J-Cruise II kein besonderes pro-Problem sein, da Shoei das Visier Pinlock-ready gemacht hat. Bizarrerweise haben sie nicht enthalten eine Pinlock Einsatz kostenlos in der Box (wie bei dieser 100 £ MT Rapide zum Beispiel!), was bei einem so teuren Deckel ein wenig verarscht ist.

Immerhin gibt es die Option für ein Pinlock, denke ich.

Die Bereitstellung einer Pinlock Evo für die J-Cruise II ist wohl ein stillschweigendes Eingeständnis, dass sie prone zu Beschlag neigt. Das gilt auch für die zusätzliche Position des Visiers in der Stadt, die normalerweise dazu dient, mehr Luft hereinzulassen und das Beschlagen zu verhindern.

Andererseits, wenn man sich an einem kalten oder feuchten Tag ein Stück kaltes Polycarbonat vor das Gesicht hält, wird es pro wahrscheinlich beschlagen, daher ist es gut zu wissen, dass Shoei Schritte unternommen hat, um dieses Problem zu lösen.

Gut zu wissen ist auch, dass Shoei angibt, dass ihr Polycarbonat-Visier 99% der UV-Strahlen abhält. Polycarbonat ist dafür bekannt, mindestens 95% abzuschneiden, aber es ist immer gut, eine genaue Zahl zu sehen, vor allem, wenn Sie planen, irgendwo in der Sonne zu fahren.

Sonnenblende

(mehr über sonnenblenden).

Die gleiche Zahl wird auch für die Sonnenblende angegeben - ein weiterer 99% pro Schutz gegen UV. Und Shoei ist offenbar europäisch zertifiziert, indem es die Sonnenblende mit einer DIN EN1836-Zertifizierung versieht. Hurra!

In den USA ist das Äquivalent die Norm ANSI Z80.3-2010, was bedeutet, dass sie ungefähr so viel 1TP132Schutz bieten sollte wie eine Sonnenbrille - und einen Test beinhaltet, der sicherstellt, dass sie nicht in Flammen aufgeht. Das ist immer gut zu wissen!

Shoei haben die Sonnenblende auch etwas länger als der alte J-Cruise. Das ist oft willkommen, denn es gibt immer ein paar Leute, die sagen, dass ihre Sonnenblende nicht tief genug herunterklappt (so wie wir es beim J-Cruise I erlebt haben).

Und obwohl die Positionierung des Schiebereglers der Sonnenblende etwas ungewöhnlich ist (bedingt durch die Position des Bedienfelds für den integrierten Bluetooth-Controller), funktioniert er gut und reibungslos, wenn man sich erst einmal daran gewöhnt hat, wo er zu finden ist.

Komfort und Größenbestimmung

(mehr über komfort und größenangaben).

Der J-Cruise 2 ist in den Größen XS-XXL erhältlich und wird in vier Schalengrößen angeboten.

Sie verwendet das 3D Max-Dry Innenfutter von Shoei. Das 3D bezieht sich auf den lasergeschnittenen 3D-Schaumstoff im Inneren, und Max-Dry ist das reguläre Innenfutter von Shoei, das Schweiß doppelt so schnell absorbiert und ableitet wie Nylon (was keine besonders gewagte Behauptung zu sein scheint, da Nylon im Grunde aus Plastik besteht).

Dennoch sind Max Dry Liner hoch angesehen und Shoei ist ein schöner und bequemer Liner.

Wie bei anderen Herstellern von Premium-Helmen können Sie auch hier Wangenpolster in verschiedenen Stärken kaufen, um die Passform anzupassen, wenn Sie feststellen, dass der Helm nicht ganz richtig sitzt oder sich mit der Zeit lockert.

Und wenn Sie eine Brille tragen, gibt es auch eine Brillenrille, damit die Brillenbügel nicht auf den Kopf drücken.

Insgesamt halten die Besitzer die J-Cruise II für ein sehr bequemer Helm . Tatsächlich haben wir keinen einzigen Eigentümer gefunden, der etwas anderes behauptet hätte.

Natürlich müssen Sie zunächst die richtige Größe finden (siehe unsere Montageanleitung ), und es heißt, wenn Sie beim J-Cruise II zwischen zwei Größen liegen, entscheiden Sie sich am besten für eine Nummer größer, da eine Nummer kleiner zu eng sein wird.

Abgesehen davon sind die Qualität und die allgemeine Haptik des Comfort Liners einwandfrei.

Aussehen und Grafiken

Die Grafiken des Shoei sind immer ein wenig konservativ und zurückhaltend.

Wenn Sie eine schlichte J-Cruise II suchen, haben Sie die Wahl zwischen einem matten Schwarz, Grau oder Blau oder einem glänzenden Schwarz oder Weiß.

J-Kreuzfahrt II Video

Ihre Videos sind in der Regel etwas langatmig, aber in diesem Video von Champion Helmets aus den Niederlanden (8m 30s) gibt es einige gute Informationen.

Sonstiges - Bluetooth, Gewicht, Brille, Luftwiderstand und Luftströmung, Verarbeitungsqualität, Garantie

Wenn Sie Ihr J-Cruise II mit einem Bluetooth-Headset ausstatten möchten, ist es für die Verwendung mit dem SCL 1 oder 2 Set konzipiert, das von Sena und Shoei entwickelt wurde, um mit ihren Helmen integrieren .

Das bedeutet, dass der Controller auf der linken Seite untergebracht werden kann (an der Unterkante befindet sich eine kleine Klappe, die entfernt werden kann) und der Akku in eine Klappe an der unteren Rückseite passt. Es gibt auch viel Platz für Lautsprecher und ein Mikrofon.

Shoei ist es gelungen, das Gewicht des J-Cruise II gegenüber dem alten Helm um etwa 100 g zu reduzieren. Das ist nicht viel, aber es bedeutet, dass der J-Cruise II etwa 1,4 kg wiegt, statt 1,5 kg wie der alte Helm. Er ist bei weitem nicht der leichteste Integralhelm auf dem Markt, aber er ist in Ordnung - und einige Besitzer sind der Meinung, dass das Gewicht auch zu seinem Qualitätsgefühl beiträgt.

Wenn Sie ein Brillenträger sind, dann ist die Shoei J-Cruise II ideal für Brillen . Im Inneren befinden sich Brillenrillen, und mehrere Besitzer sagten, dass es viel Platz gibt, um die Sonnenblende und das Hauptvisier herunterzuklappen, ohne die Brille zu beeinträchtigen. Und da beide optisch korrekt sind, gibt es keine nennenswerten Verzerrungen, obwohl man eigentlich durch drei Kunststoffscheiben schaut.

Shoei meint, dass sie viel an der Aerodynamik des Helms gearbeitet haben, um Auftrieb, Luftwiderstand und Windstöße zu reduzieren. Das könnte im Windkanal messbar sein, aber ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob die Besitzer einen großen Unterschied feststellen. Abgesehen davon sind wir auch nicht auf Beschwerden gestoßen, also scheint die Aerodynamik gut zu funktionieren.

Auch die Verarbeitungsqualität wird als hervorragend eingestuft. Viele Besitzer sagen, wie fantastische Qualität der Helm ist - das Finish, das Innenleben - was auch immer, sie mögen es. Das ist einer der Gründe, warum Sie sich für einen Premium-Helm wie den Shoei entscheiden: Sie nehmen sich die Zeit, um alles richtig zu machen.

Und es bedeutet, dass sie mit Freude eine 5 Jahre Garantie bei der Herstellung aller ihrer Helme.

Gute Alternativen zur Shoei J-Cruise II?

Sie können sich alle unsere Bewertungen von offenen Helmen hier . Wenn Sie jedoch eine interessante Auswahl suchen, die Sie unserer Meinung nach in Erwägung ziehen sollten, werfen Sie einen Blick auf diese offenen Gesichtsabdeckungen.

Ähnlich wie die J-Cruise II - und sogar noch praktischer - ist das erste Modell, die Nolan N40-5  GT. Er ist ein äußerst vielseitiger, modularer Helm, der sich durch vollständiges Entfernen des Kinnbügels in einen Jet verwandeln lässt. Das Beste aus beiden Welten!

Oder was ist mit dem Sena Wild ? Es ist ein Glasfaserhelm mit offenem Gesicht, der mit einem vorinstallierten Bluetooth-Kommunikationsgerät geliefert wird. OK, es ist ein ziemlich einfaches Bluetooth, aber die meisten Besitzer finden es in Ordnung. Und er ist ein ganzes Stück billiger als der J-Cruise II. Allerdings müssen Sie sich mit einem einrastenden Visier begnügen.

Das Fiberglas Shoei Jo hat aber eine eingebaut. Außerdem wird das gleiche AIM-Gehäuse wie bei der J-Cruise II verwendet, obwohl das Jo viel leichter und billiger ist. Es ist auch mehr zurück zu den Grundlagen.

Und schließlich, was ist mit dem Bell Broozer . Es sieht wirklich das Teil und es hat eine vollständig abnehmbare, aber protective Kinn Bar für, wenn Sie ein Leck auf bekommen wollen. Es kommt sowohl mit einem klaren und dunklen Visier, wiegt etwa die gleiche wie die J-Cruise II aber kommt in etwa die Hälfte des Preises.

Best of Moscow by high speed train

By shuguley , February 15, 2014 in Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Recommended Posts

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.

Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?

My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

If you are considering this on the 2015 June Baltic cruise on Voyager; my suggestion is don't. There is so much to do in St. Petersburg and although a train is one of my favorite ways to travel the time would be far better spent in St. P.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, this would be on the Voyager during the 2015 season but not yet sure exactly which cruise.

We did the Moscow excursion "on a different luxury line", but from your brief description it sounds very much like the same trip, so I will operate on that assumption. It is a VERY long day! We left the ship at 5:30 AM and returned at 12:30 AM. The highspeed train trip is comfortable, and while they call it "Business Class" it does not compare well to the equivalent class on say Rail Europe. When we did it in 2011, we did have highspeed both ways, and the trip back seemed much longer as the adrenaline and excitement had worn off!:D

Moscow itself is not that terribly different from any other big city in the world, but this Cold War kid never thought he would ever stand in Red Square, never mind walk the grounds of The Kremlin, or tour The Kremlin Palace, or see (but not visit) Lenin's Tomb, or visit The Armoury. But he did, and he loved every minute of it! Yes, it is a long day, and you barely scratch a scratch on the surface, but it is worth it. There is a tremendous amount to see in St. Petersburg, but every Baltic cruise goes to St. Petersburg, so you can go back if you choose to. Not every cruiseline offers you the chance to see Moscow.

I have not personally done this tour, but our last time in St Petersburg, the private guide that we hired for a day was leading the regent tour to Moscow on the high speed train the next day. He said it was way better than the previous alternative, which was flying to Moscow and back. He said that you actually got to Moscow faster because you didn't have to deal with airline checkin etc. it did seem like a very long day to me, and there is so much to see and do in st. Petersburg that I didn't consider doing it.

We toured to Moscow from St. Petersburg via the hi-speed SAPSAN train last September, from a Baltic cruise on the Oceania Marina. You need to have a two-night, three day port call in St. Petersburg to take this tour because the tour typically leaves the ship around 5:00 - 5:30 AM and doesn't return until after midnight the next day. We didn't take the ship's tour; we made private arrangements with TravelAllRussia for three days of touring, the first and third days in St. Petersburg and the second day the tour to Moscow by train. Our cost for the private tour for three days was about the same as what the ship charged for the excursion to Moscow alone. There are a number of private tour agencies that operate in St. Petersburg and offer the Moscow train tours; we would strongly recommend them over the ship's tours.

All three days had private guides with car and driver. The second day, the driver picked us up at the ship and took us to the train, but we were alone on the train, and met in Moscow by the guide on the station platform. After our tour and dinner, we were brought back to the train and after the return train trip met by the driver and taken back to the ship. Because you are alone on the train you must have your own Russian visas.

If this is your first visit to St. Petersburg, I would agree there is much more to see there. We found Moscow somewhat a disappointment, particularly Red Square. The Kremlin and the cathedral in Red Square were also worth seeing. But the best thing we saw was the Moscow subway! I worked for the Washington Metro system back in the 1980s as it grew from 40 to 80 miles and although I was in the computer area, I learned a lot about the challenges of running a subway system. We used the Moscow system to get across the city from where we had dinner to the train station, and I was amazed at the cleanliness', speed of operation, the short headways maintained, and the courtesy of everyone involved. A very impressive experience!

We had been to St. Petersburg before, and so had the time to take a day and go to Moscow. Also, I really like trains, and the SAPSAN is a German train set running on Russian rails. Seats are like first class domestic air, spacious but not too plush or comfortable, but with enough room. Not too much recline, and almost 8 hours on the train in two shots is a lot for an old man. They come through and sell drinks, candy, etc. but the sellers don't speak English and no one around us helped, so we had just poor coffee once coming, and brought stuff with us for the trip back. Not too much to see from the train either, particularly on the return when it is night the whole way.

If you decide to go, take a private tour and avoid the overly expensive ship's tour. I'm glad we did it, but wouldn't bother to repeat the tour; we've seen Moscow.

Thanks so much to all of you for the thorough and thought insight. Yhe information you have provided is most helpful.

countflorida: Your detailed post is very helpful. We are not quite ready for a Baltic cruise but should do so within a year. Time enough to do our pre travel research, bookings and visa gathering.:) Thank you!

Emperor Norton

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.   Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?   My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

I did this on Seabourn. IMO DONT. Take Aeroflop (er Aeroflot). The train has non folding seats where you are literally knee to knee with your fellow passenger (facing each other). Further they don't believe in air conditioning. It's also the worlds slowed bullet train. I think I would have found more enjoyment wandering around the St. Petersburg and Moscow airports.

Countflorida,

This is a little off topic,, however we had planned a river cruise in Russia but decided we would rather stay on land and have booked about two weeks with Travel-All-Russia using the private guide and driver. I'm curious as to how you found them as a tour company.

The guides they provided were fine. We had a different guide each of the days in St. Petersburg, but both were flexible, pleasant, knowledgeable and spoke English very well, as did the guide in Moscow, incidentally. She was a bit aloof, distant, not too friendly, but otherwise fine. In fact, she was the one who suggested taking the Metro, which unexpectedly became one of the highlights of the Moscow excursion. If I have a complaint with AllTravelRussia, it is with their plan and its execution (more later).

I had requested emphasis on World War II (in Russia, the Great Patriotic War) sites and info. In scheduling us, they weren't careful about dates and a couple of the sites we wanted to see were scheduled on the third day, after we'd been to Moscow. But both sites were closed that day of the week, and that info was readily available, right on web sites describing them. Also, the included meals (lunches in St. Pete, dinner in Moscow) were not what we asked for: light meals with some choices, so we could avoid things we didn't like and choose things we did like. My request was ignored; we were given full Russian meals with a fixed menu, no choice. On the first day, a fish dish was the entre, but I am allergic to fish. Fortunately, I had the e-mail I'd sent with me and showed it to the guide, and she was able to change my entre to chicken, which was very good actually. But we didn't want a 3-4 course lunches or dinner (in Moscow). We had the guide drop the lunch the third day, although we never got any credit or refund. But, particularly in contrast to the ship's tours, the prices were so reasonable we didn't worry too much about it.

The people who were on the ship's tour to Moscow saw us boarding the same train for which they were forced to queue up and wait on the way back, and asked us what we had done. I was candid and open so they were not happy when I explained what we had arranged and particularly what it had cost. Also, when we returned to the ship, we found they had laid on a late supper for those who had gone to Moscow, so up we went and had something. Well, it turns out the late supper was supposed to be just for those on the ship's tour, but we and others on 'independent' tours, there were a dozen or more of us, crashed the party, actually got there first, and they didn't realize it until the larger group arrived and there weren't enough tables/places set. By that time, the 'independents' had all gotten served and were eating; what could they do?

A couple from the larger group sat down with us and asked us about our tour, and they were the ones I told about our arrangement and its cost. They turned to others who’d been with them and announced the details, loudly enough so the whole room heard, which started a lot of bitching and complaining. I gathered they weren't very happy with the ship's tour to begin with, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. We finished up and beat it out of there, but overheard later that one of the excursion staff came to check on something and ran into a real mess. I caught a cold on the trip, which forced me to bed the second day following in Tallinn, so by the time we reappeared we heard about the contretemps' but apparently no one recalled who started it, thankfully.

Because of what happened to us, I would probably not use AllTravelRussia if I were to go again, or if I did, I would be sure to get confirmation of every detail of the tour. They do have good reviews generally, and we were certainly helped by their visa department and liked the guides and drivers. Their weakness, I say now with full 20:20 hindsight, is that once the sales person who plans the tour, sells it to you and collects your money, he (or she) transfers the plan to their Russia office for implementation; there is no follow-up to make sure it gets done right. And that is where our problems arose; we paid for a custom tour but got a standard package with a few destinations switched, and no one checked them out, even to see when they were open the day we were scheduled to go. If you check every detail that’s important to you, it should be OK, but that’s a hell of a way to have to do business, in my opinion.

Thank you for the 20/20 hindsight observation on your Russian tour operator, and better priced than the ship's excursion cost.

Thanks very much for the feedback.

We had the same experience as you so far as price. We originally booked a Viking Cruise but, hearing some things about the river cruises that made us unhappy, looked into other options. T-A-R cost the same or less than a cruise and had us in hotels for 11 days. We opted for the private tour. They have three tour levels, based on hotels. We originally opted for the four star as it did not cost much more than the three star hotels. Finally we decided to throw it all in and upgraded to five star. In Moscow we will be at the newly opened Kempinsky which is two blocks from Red Square. In St. Petersburg it is the Grand Hotel Europe, one of the most vaunted luxury hotels in Russia. Location is important for us as the tours use up only part of the day so being in the center of everything for our independent touring is important. As with many other cities, the less you pay, the farther out of the center of town you are.

We have been working with our salesman in D.C. and he seems to get back to us with the changes we want. He recently returned from Russia so is up on everything. When I asked they said they paid the full TA commission if I wanted so I got my usual TA on board so he is watching our back and giving us that extra level of comfort. He also set up our air, which I know pays him little or nothing, and got us business class for much less than T-A-R wanted for economy, though it took working for a while with a consolidator. He's happy to get his 10 percent on this trip without having booked it. He also took care of the trip insurance. We've been doing a lot of research on the CC sister site Trip Advisor and will write a report there. We will, I guess, become a source of info for CC members after having spent 5 days in Moscow and 6 in SP.

Home / Luxury Russia Tours / Grand Volga River Cruise from Moscow to Astrakhan

Dates & Prices

This Russian river cruise is an epic journey along a spectacular stretch of Europe’s largest river. This 11-day tour, staying onboard the five-star, luxury Volga Dream cruise liner includes 14 days cruising from the historic River Terminal on the Moscow Canal to the beautiful old city of Astrakhan on the banks of the Volga.

After a three day introduction to the main attractions of Moscow, you’ll set sail for some of the most picturesque towns of the Lower Volga, including Yaroslavl on the famous Golden Ring circuit. Marvel at iconic onion-domed churches and medieval forts while immersing yourself Russia’s extraordinary culture, arts, folklore, history, food and legendary love of lively celebration along the way.

Grand Volga River Cruise highlights: 

• Highlights of Moscow : Enjoy guided excursions to the most lauded landmarks of the Russian capital. Walk the Red Square, enter the halls of the imposing Kremlin and Armoury Museum, and marvel at the works of the Russian masters at the Tretyakov Gallery
• Uglich : With brightly painted historical buildings standing proudly along the banks of the river, Uglich is one of the most magnificent towns to behold from the Volga. Explore one of Russia’s oldest cities, home to Church of St Dmitry, built on the site where the last heir of Ivan the Terrible met his mysterious demise
• Yaroslavl : One of the most celebrated cities of Russia’s Golden Ring, Yaroslavl has so much to see. Admire the incredible artistry of the Spassky Monastery and take part in a costumed reception at the Governer’s House
• Nizhniy Novgorod was a once-wealthy city with a strategic position on the Eastern trade route. During the Soviet era, it was used as a place of exile for political prisoners and outsiders were forbidden. Now open to visitors once again, it boasts spectacular views from the ramparts of its 16th century Kremlin
• By Day 7, Orthodox churches no longer dominate the landscape. Instead, the beautiful minarets of Islamic mosques pierce the sky as we enter the Republic of Tatarstan, where we disembark to discover the unique Tartar culture of the Republic’s capital, Kazan
• Sail past the Zhigulevskie mountains towards Samsara . Our tour of the city includes a visit to the space museum and stroll along the Volga esplanade to the Samara State Art Museum
• Discover the world-changing WWII history of Volgograd , a 16th-century city that shot to notoriety as the site of the Battle of Stalingrad, the largest and bloodiest battle in the history of warfare
• Tour a fortress built during the reign of Ivan the Terrible in Astrakhan before flying back home.

Russia’s most significant settlements share one essential geographic detail – their connection to the Volga River, the cultural, agricultural and industrial lifeline for the country's largest population centres. What better way to take in Russia’s beautiful rural landscapes, spectacular old-world architecture and picturesque historical townships than an intimate experience sailing the waters of the mighty Volga herself. From the chaotic modern metropolis of Moscow to fairytale medieval villages and the ancient kingdom of the Tartars, this is a river cruise with few equals, offering variety and splendour on a scale that exists simply nowhere else.

Our cruise begins at the Moscow Canal ferry terminal, the city’s gateway to the Volga River. From Moscow, we’ll sail north to the fascinating Medieval city of Uglich and on to Yaroslav, one of the most iconic cities on Russia’s historic Golden Ring circuit. Next, we’ll follow the lower reaches of the Volga River to the south-east, watching the local architecture change from Tsarist cathedrals to exotic Muslim mosques as we temporarily leave Orthodox Russia and enter the Republic of Tatarstan. Finally, we’ll sail past the Zhigulevskie mountains to Samsara,  Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad), one of the single most important battlefield locations in the history of modern warfare, and then on to our departure point - Astrakhan, known for the Astrakhan Kremlin, an expansive fortress built in the 1500s.

Your luxury vessel on this eye-opening journey is the MV Volga Dream, a renovated boutique cruise ship with classic décor and distinctive Russian touches. Accommodating just 100 passengers in 50 staterooms, the Volga Dream is the perfect choice for travellers seeking an intimate experience and personalised service. Soak up the panoramic views from the elegant lounge or the spectacular sundeck and enjoy a mix of fine Russian and international fare, buffet breakfasts and four-course dinners in the restaurant. Life onboard is as laidback or action-packed as you prefer. Between trips ashore, enjoy a diverse range of activities including Russian language lessons, cooking demonstrations, matryoshka painting classes, documentary films, educational talks from our passionate guest speakers, live musical entertainment and a traditional costumed Russian dinner with vodka tasting.

Moscow : The first day is arrival day. You are welcome on board! Check in starts at 14:00 (2.00 PM), but you may arrive earlier or later on that day. If you order a transfer you will be met at the airport or train station by one of our drivers and taken by a comfortable car to the river port where you will board your cruise ship (transfer is OPTIONAL).

Over the next few days you will have a chance to explore Moscow and learn about its riveting history. You will be taken on a city tour where you will see Moscow's most interesting sights and learn about this amazing city's past and present. You will also have a chance to do some light shopping and there will be time to relax aboard the ship in the evenings. One of the highlights of your time in Moscow is a visit to Red Square  and the Kremlin . You will also visit one of the Kremlin's famous cathedrals. The Kremlin as we know it today was rebuilt as a stone structure during the beginning of the 14th century but the actual site had been inhabited and used as a fortified city wall for centuries before this period. The Kremlin is truly a fascinating structure - at the same time it is an ancient tower, the city's former military fortification, a palace and the workplace of the Russian President. The Kremlin is the center of Russia's political life and State power and has been home to Tsars, General Secretaries of the Soviet Union and Russian Presidents.

Moscow is Russia's political and financial capital as well as a major world class cultural center. The city includes many must see attractions from the Kremlin and Red Square to the Assumption Cathedral. Moscow is the largest city in Europe. It is unique in that it blends the ancient with the modern. See medieval structures among modern office buildings, walk down crooked old city streets opening up to wide busy boulevards. It is a fantastic city and truly a site that shouldn't be missed.

Uglich : You will be taken to the walking city tour with visit to Kremlin , the Church of St. Demitrius on the Blood and the Transfiguration cathedral .

Uglich was founded in 1148 as a small princedom bordering on Muscovy, Uglich is one of the most beloved towns in Old Russia. The view of the town as you approach it from the Volga River is breathtaking with the Cathedral of the Resurrection and St. John´s Church rising up on the horizon. The history of the town is fascinating; At the end of the 16th century, Maria Nagaya, seventh wife of Ivan the Terrible, lived in honorary exile at the Kremlin in Uglich. It was here in her garden that the 10 year old Prince Dmitry of the Rurik Dynasty, heir to the Russian throne was murdered by Boris Godunov who wanted to seize power for himself. On the spot of his death, the Church of St. Demitrius of the Blood was built and still stands today. The death of Prince Dmitri brought on the start of the Time of Troubles, a dynastic and political crises and one of the most tumultuous periods in Russian history which ended 15 years later after the election of a new Tsar Mikhail Romanov (the first Tsar of the Romanov Dynasty). Inside the Kremlin the oldest building in Uglich, the Palace of Tsarevich Dmitry also stands. During your time in Uglich you will learn more about the town's past and walk along the paths of Russian history.

Yaroslavl : You will be taken to the panoramic city tour with a visit to a local market (free time). You will also see the Church of Elijah the Prophet (exterior), Church of St Nicholas (interior) and enjoy an interactive tour of former Governor's House (and visit to an Art Gallery).

Yaroslavl : Stretching for 18 miles on both banks of the Volga , Yaroslavl is an important Volga port with a population of 600,000. It was founded in the 1010 by Prince Yaroslav the Wise and is one of the ancient Russian cities making up the Golden Ring . It was destroyed by the Tatars in the 13th and 14th centuries but then restored and rebuilt and by the 17th century it had become Russia's second largest city after Moscow and an important cultural and political center. Today, Yaroslavl retains many noteworthy monuments of its colorful past. Of special interest is the magnificent 13th century Spassky Monastery ensemble, a group of majestic 17th century cathedrals, an elegant rotunda and remnants of an ancient trading center. The churches of St. Nicholas and Elijah the Prophet have some of the Golden Ring's most impressive frescoes.

Goritsy : You'll tour the St. Cyril on the White Lake Monastery and Museum of Icons .

Goritsy is a tiny settlement 7 kilometers from the St. Cyril on the White Lake Monastery. The remains of the Nunnery of the Resurrection that sits on the banks of the Sheksna River can be visited and is within a quarter of a mile of where the ship stops. Goritsy is definitely a site to see for anyone with an interest in Russian history. St. Cyril on the White Lake was founded in 1397 by Kirill Belosersky on the shore of Lake Siverskoye. The monastery had wide trade in the 15th to 17th centuries and was used as a fortress to protect Russia's nobility during the Times of Troubles.

After the tour you will return to your ship and set sail in the direction of St. Petersburg along the Volga Baltic Canal. The Volga Baltic Canal is a series of canals and rivers that connect the Volga river to the Baltic Sea.

You'll cruise along Europe's second largest lake, Lake Onega and arrive on the island of Kizhi . Here you will visit a fascinating open air museum containing numerous examples of elaborate Russian, wooden architecture.

Kizhi Island : Via the Volga Baltic Canal, our cruise takes us to the tiny island of Kizhi, located at the northern end of Lake Onega. The island is renowned for its open-air Museum of Architecture , which is assembled from over 80 monuments of wooden architecture from various areas of the country and restored to form a glimpse of the past. The most impressive site on the island is the Church of the Transfiguration or Preobrazhenskaya (the church of twenty-two wooden domes). This masterpiece of architecture, featuring five tiers of 22 domes, was built in 1714 without the use of a single nail, only an axe and pine trees. The church magically changes color as the day grows old, it is certainly one of the most interesting things you will see during your time in Russia.

Mandrogui : Enjoy walking around this traditional Russian village in its beautiful setting and spending a day of rest, relaxation and fun. We will have a fantastic barbeque picnic on the banks of the river featuring one of Russia's favorite specialties - shashlik (meat shish kebab prepared on an outdoor fire). You will love it!

Mandrogui : is really more of a living museum than a live-in village. It features a collection of old wooden houses and is geared towards showing visitors what a traditional Russian village resembled in the past. One of the features here is the Vodka Museum, which contains thousands of different brands and types of Russia's favorite pastime.

St. Petersburg : Your time in St. Petersburg will begin with a Panoramic City Tour . This tour is the best way to get acquainted with all of the city's major highlights. Our professional guide will take you down Nevsky Prospect , St. Petersburg's most famous and vibrant thoroughfare. There you will see some of the city's most interesting architectural monuments including the Kazan Cathedral (exterior) and the Winter Palace. You will see the Peter and Paul Fortress (interior) - a symbol of St. Petersburg and also the oldest building in the city.

One of the highlights of your entire cruise will be a visit to the Hermitage , Russia's premier museum containing one of the largest art collections in the world. The museum consists of five historical buildings including the Winter Palace - the residence of the Russian Tsars. The museum contains over 3 million pieces of art with dates ranging from high antiquity to the present day.

During your time in St. Petersburg you will also visit Peterhof - former summer residence of the Russian Emperors, located on the shore of the Gulf of Finland. You will see the Lower Park - a genuine masterpiece of landscape design which can compete with Versailles in France. The park includes over 150 fountains and 4 monumental cascades.

On the last day of your cruise you will say goodbye to Russia, your ship's crew and the many new friends we are sure you will have met during your time with us. We are sure that your memories of the trip will last a lifetime and we look forward to welcoming you to Russia sometime in the future. Our driver will meet you at the ship and take you to the airport to see you off (transfer is optional).

St. Petersburg is Russia's second largest and second most important city - the Northern capital of the country, Russia's cultural center, and considered the world's "Northern Venice" due to its extensive system of canals and islands. Walk along Nevsky Prospect and experience the grandeur of pre-revolutionary imperial Russia. Pass palaces from the past and gaze at the famous embankment of the Neva River with its numerous bridges and striking architecture. St. Petersburg is also home to Russia's largest and busiest port and with its many world class theaters and museums has a very high level of cultural life
