Getting into Saint Petersburg is now easy if you are on a Baltic Sea cruise. Be sure to schedule your time before your arrival because Saint Petersburg is a beautiful city you don't want to miss. As a professional licensed tour guide, I am able to arrange all necessary papers to provide your visa-free disembarkment. If you going ashore as a part of an organized shore excursion (either as a family or a small group), now you need only to carry your passport and tour ticket. Please check my 2-day itinerary which covers all the major attractions both in the city and its suburbs, such as the Hermitage, Peter & Paul Fortress, Catherine Palace, Peterhof, etc.
