Some tips:
- Taking a sunset cruise along the Moscow River allows you to see the city from a different perspective. The cruise offers great photo opportunities, so make sure your camera or phone is charged and ready. And nothing spoils a romantic sunset more than a sudden rainfall, so it's good idea to carry an umbrella just in case, even if the forecast predicts a dry evening.
- Choosing a weekday for your romantic cruise is a good idea as it is typically less crowded than on weekends, making the experience more intimate. The temperature in September can drop quickly, especially on the water, so you'll want to ensure you dress appropriately.
- Lastly, if both you and your partner enjoy history, it might be a nice detail to read up on the historical landmarks you will see during the cruise, to share your knowledge during the voyage.
