St. Petersburg Evening Canal Cruise
St. Petersburg is known as the 'Venice of the North' and for good reason. You can take advantage of this by planning a romantic canal cruise for you and your partner. This bargain budget date promises not only a beautiful evening but also an unforgettable memory.
- Imagine gliding along the canals while the sunset paints the cityscape in fiery hues. The gentle rocking of the boat, the whispering evening breeze, and the sight of iconic landmarks passing by create a romantic atmosphere thatโs better than any fancy restaurant.
- As the daylight fades and the city lights start playing their magic, you can sit back, hold hands, and indulge in light-hearted conversations, away from the frenzy of daily life.
- Make sure to bring a camera to capture some picturesque views and a blanket to keep warm in the cool evening air.
Preparation steps:
- Booking a canal cruise in St. Petersburg is relatively easy. It's recommended to book your cruise online to avoid rush hour lines and secure your spot on the boat. Check the weather forecast in advance, it can get chilly on the water, even in summer.
- Be sure to arrive at the embarkment point well in advance of the departure time. This will give you time to find a good spot on the boat for an uninterrupted view.
- Pack some light snacks with a bottle of wine or hot tea, depending on your preference, to add a picnic twist to your little adventure.
Some tips:
- The best time for an evening cruise is during the 'White Nights' when the sun barely sets below the horizon. This gives you a chance to experience the city in a different light and adds to the romance.
- There are no narrators or guides on the cheap cruises, to keep the cost minimal. However, this gives you a chance to discover the city's landmarks in your way.
- Lastly, practicing a few words or phrases in Russian can be fun and helpful as most of the boat staff might not speak English.
