Kronstadt and the forts

By arrangement
Gulf of Finland

A sea trip to the island city. The programme is planned around the chosen pier and permitted approaches to the forts.

Lakhta Center and the Gulf of Finland coast
The gulf coast near St Petersburg. The places you pass depend on your departure point.
A walk around Kronstadt

If you plan to go ashore, allow time for Anchor Square and the Naval Cathedral, Petrovskaya Pier, the Italian Palace and the Obvodny Canal. Choose a few places in advance: the crossing and the city walk each need time.

Seeing the forts and going ashore

Viewing the forts from the boat and visiting a fort are different itineraries. Before travelling, confirm the pier, mooring arrangements and waiting time. A guide, tickets and transport on land are agreed separately.

What you will see along the way

  • St Petersburg
  • Gulf of Finland
  • Kronstadt

These are landmarks on the programme; disembarkation at each site is not automatically included.

What to agree before your cruise

Not all forts allow disembarkation. A vessel suitable for the cruising area and an agreed programme are required.

State the date, number of guests and preferred pier. Confirm the duration, accessible cruising areas, stops and full programme cost.
