Russian river cruises vary by route, departure port and sequence of stops. One specific Infoflot offer aboard the “General Lavrinenkov” runs from Moscow to Volgograd in September 2027. The one-way route links several major Volga cities and does not end at the point of departure, so the outbound and return journeys need to be considered separately.
River section and travel rhythm
For the departure from September 20 to 28, 2027, Infoflot lists nine days and eight nights. The itinerary is Moscow, Uglich, Yaroslavl, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Bolgar, Samara, Saratov and Volgograd. This makes it a long, southbound journey along the Volga. Comparing the river section and trip duration helps distinguish this one-way cruise from round trips and other river itineraries. The offer page notes that the schedule may change due to weather, dispatch instructions or other factors.
The ship and included services
Infoflot describes the “General Lavrinenkov” as a four-deck Project 302 river vessel with capacity for 182 passengers. According to the operator, most cabins have a private balcony. For this specific itinerary, Infoflot lists cabin accommodation, three meals a day, excursion services as per the itinerary, and entertainment as included. Additional excursions and drinks in the bars are charged separately.
