A highly equipped icebreaker of Radisson Royal Flotilla will give you an unforgettable trip on the frozen Moscow River, with comfort, warmth and luxury. Cities and towns, ready for the New Year, glow and shine with millions of colorful lights, creating a festive cheerful mood. In Moscow, there are a lot of New Year Bazaars, beginning from November – so, all city center is full of winter decorations and toys, sounds of music and unique Christmas Eve atmosphere!

You can go skating in the heart of Moscow, in the famous Red Square; enjoy unforgettable moments flying on the snowy road with traditional Russian 'troika' horses, and then warm up in the best restaurants of traditional Russian cuisine and folklore (with extra payment).
 
 
Also, the charming Kolomna, a city near Moscow that is even older than today's capital of Russia, is waiting for you at our Winter Weekend! The Kremlin of Kolomna was chosen as a symbol of Russia during the All-Russian voting in 2013, and also Kolomna itself has won many times the first prize as the most beautiful city of Moscow Region.
 
Inside the magnificent Kremlin of Kolomna, prepare yourself for another incredible sight: you will meet Russian warriors there, as if they had traveled by a time machine from the time of the first Russian states, from twelfth century! Nice and brave men with traditional armor and weapons will deeply impress you with the treasures of old Russian martial art!
 
The Old Kolomna with its well-tended mansions will give you a glimpse into the past, while its unique museums-workshops will fulfill that feeling with the tastes of old Russia.
 
Masters at the Honey Beverages Museum will tell you the secrets of the traditional Russian honey beverages and hot drinks, giving you an opportunity to feel like Russian princes of ancient times, and the beautiful girls with historical dresses at the "PASTILA" traditional sweet museum will treat you with the sweetest stories of the old Russian pastry.
 
Tasting of the products, accompanied with Russian-style beverages, hot tea and drinks - in both museums!
 
In cold winter, the Russian hospitality is even warmer. Welcome to beautiful Russia!
