Cossacks & Vodka (3) The Cruise Ship

The cruise ship carried about 200 passengers and another 100 crew, including all the service staff. The cabins were small, but spotlessly clean and comfortable. We didn't spend much time in the cabin, as they kept us busy with tours, meals, lectures, and activities. Here are some representative photos of the environment.

Six similarly configured ships ply this route. Ours on the right.

Five buses follow us around. Driving up along the river to each stop.

Very small cabin
