New audio tours launched for Moscow River cruises
Learn about Moscow’s landmarks while cruising the river
This summer, a river cruise in Moscow isn’t just about the view — it’s about the story behind it. New audio tours, now available in Russian, English, Chinese, Arabic, and Hindi, guide travelers through the city’s most famous sights as they pass by on the Moskva River.
The tours are free to listen to: either directly on board, or via the link as free podcasts. Routes vary — from a short hour-long ride around Serebryany Bor to a nearly three-hour journey between Kievsky Station and Novospassky, passing landmarks like the Kremlin, Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, and GES-2 House of Culture.
Each tour adds a layer of context to what you see: who lived in the mansions, what stood here a century ago, and how the river shaped the city. It’s an easy way to learn more about Moscow — no need for a guide or group. Just press play, look around, and drift through history.
