This year, a record 750 thousand travelers will go on cruises along the rivers of Russia – this type of vacation is gradually becoming one of the most popular. Demand is growing by 25% annually, and the number of returning tourists is 90%.

Customers note the high level of the excursion program, the comfort of the ships and high-quality food. Many people note that a cruise is the most convenient way to travel in Russia: the excursions and entertainment program are carefully thought out, and moving from city to city you do not need to pack your bags every time.

In the navigation of 2024, more than 80 motor ships entered all the largest rivers of Russia, performing from classic routes along the Volga to expedition cruises in Siberia. Active sales of cruises for the summer began last fall – thanks to early booking discounts and a high level of tourist confidence in this type of holiday. 

“Almost all seats on August flights have been redeemed. We advise tourists to pay attention to autumn cruises. Until the beginning of October, you can still catch summer on routes to Rostov-on-Don and Astrakhan: the summer heat is gone, and navigation along the Volga continues until November,” says Andrey Mikhailovsky, CEO of Infoflot.

As for the next season, Infoflot has already recorded an increase in demand for early booking by 10% compared to the same period last year. 

The company has more than 2000 cruises on the rivers of Russia in its arsenal, which can already be offered to tourists with a maximum discount. 

Infoflot provides comprehensive support to partners and shares knowledge. Since the beginning of the season, inspections of ships and events on board have been constantly carried out. For those who cannot attend them in person, there is a training platform ProCruises, which contains webinars about various products and marketing, and a Telegram channel “InfoflotPRO” with the main news and profitable offers.
