Description of the route

Excursion to the “Dome of St. Petersburg” on the boat “Nevik” is not just a walk, a full-fledged water adventure, which organically combines cognition, aesthetics and atmosphere of privacy. The route runs along the most picturesque rivers and canals of the historical center, including Fontanka, Washing, Griboyedov Canal and Winter Canal, and this allows passengers to see city architecture from a completely unusual angle.

Boat "Nevyk", distinguished by its small size and high maneuverability, specially designed for swimming in dense urban areas - it glides silently across the water surface, passing there, where no large ship can pass. Thanks to that, that there are no more than eleven people on board at any one time, every guest feels special, as if the excursion was organized personally for him: no crush, no unnecessary noise, only you, water and city.

This intimate format is ideal for a romantic date, family vacation or intellectual walk, when you don't just want to see, but also to experience St. Petersburg. Silhouettes of the domes of St. Isaac's and Kazan Cathedrals, spire of the Peter and Paul Fortress, facades of ancient palaces - all this floats in front of you in slow motion, at a measured pace, allowing you to take unique photos and remember every moment for a long time. As a result, you get more than just a tour, a real date with the soul of the city, which remains in memory as one of the warmest and most vivid impressions of a stay in the Northern capital.

route Map

The boat "Nevik" sets off on its intimate journey from the pier on the embankment of the Fontanka River, not far from the famous Anichkov Bridge.

Soon we dive under the arch of the Anichkov Bridge, where Klodt’s famous horses froze right above us, and continue along the Fontanka, admiring the facades of ancient mansions and palaces, Among which stands out the majestic Mikhailovsky Castle - the gloomy and mysterious abode of Emperor Paul I. Passing the monument to Chizhik-Pyzhik on the embankment, the boat turns into the Kryukov Canal, and then - into the most picturesque water labyrinth of the city, Griboyedov channel.

Here, on the narrow surface of the canal, We are greeted by the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, sparkling with multi-colored mosaics., as if growing out of the water itself. We are sailing under the Bank Bridge, where mighty winged griffins greet us, guarding the ancient storeroom, and admire the openwork Lion and Pikalov bridges. The legendary Seventh Day opens ahead - an amazing ensemble, where from one point you can see seven bridge crossings at once, thrown across the canal.

Going out into the waters of the Moika River, we are moving past the Kissing Bridge, covered in romantic legends, and stop our gaze on the austere façade of the palace of the Yusupov princes - right here, within its walls, Grigory Rasputin completed his earthly journey. A little further is the Memorial Museum of A.S.. Pushkin on the Moika, 12, where the great poet spent his last days.

Then the boat goes around the Winter Canal, and suddenly in front of us, like a fairytale giant in a golden helmet, St. Isaac's Cathedral grows - its dome shines over the city, reflected in the waters of the Neva. Along with it, a panorama of the Stroganov Palace opens, colored bridges, and we enter the spacious water area of the city’s main water artery.

On the Neva, our gaze takes in the majestic ensemble of Palace Embankment, majestic silhouette of the Winter Palace - Hermitage, graceful Rostral columns and the Exchange building on the spit of Vasilyevsky Island, and in the distance is the spire of the Peter and Paul Fortress, golden spear, piercing Neva sky. In this water panorama we see a true image of the capital of the Russian Empire, how contemporaries of Pushkin and Dostoevsky saw him.

We complete our journey, later 1 time 15 minutes, returning to the Anichkov Bridge on the Fontanka embankment, where we dock again, taking with you unforgettable impressions of a date with St. Petersburg from its most romantic side - from the water.

The image of the capital of the Russian Empire, we see from the boat. And complete the route through 55 min again near the Anichkov Bridge on the Fontanka.
