Experience the heart of Russia on this traditional cruising vessel. Constructed at the renowned Boizenburg Shipyard on the Elbe River in Germany, Viking Pakhomov is part of the 27-ship "302" series, designed to offer visitors the very best Russia cruise ship experience. Built in 1990, Viking Pakhomov was renovated in 2003.

Viking Pakhomov travels the waterways between Moscow and St. Petersburg, exploring part of the vast network of rivers, lakes and inland seas that was Russia's first natural highway. While cruising the Volga, Svir and Neva rivers you will be charmed by the country's overwhelming beauty.
