Soviet Nuclear Weapons Site ::
Free excursion
Explore Lithuania’s natural beauty, and the former nuclear threat imposed by its Soviet neighbors, during this visit to the Plokstine Forest and Soviet Nuclear Weapons Site.
A stark reminder of the Cold War, the Soviet Nuclear Weapons Site was constructed in Zemaitija National Park under great secrecy in 1960, and became operational in 1963. Soldiers working around-the-clock excavated the silos by hand. Four silos housed the R 12 surface-to-surface missiles. The nuclear missiles were targeted towards the biggest European cities, including Berlin, London, Madrid and Paris. In 1962, similar missiles were deployed to Cuba from this site, creating what became known as the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Nuclear Weapons Site was closed in 1979. Today, four silos and the central control complex remain.
Depart the pier for the drive to Zemaitija National Park, one of the most beautiful places in the Plokstine Forest, and home to the Soviet Nuclear Weapons Site. Upon arrival at the site, you will begin your guided tour of the 88.5-foot-deep corridors, mineshaft and underground tunnels of this old Soviet launch site.

It was in the Yusupov Palace that Prince Felix conspired to kill Rasputin, a man whom he regarded as a threat to the future of the Russian Empire. A peasant who had gained extraordinary control over the tsar’s family through his alleged supernatural powers, Rasputin was killed at the Yusupov Palace and as part of this tour, the murder will be recreated in the cellar.
Following your visit at the Palace, you will board a local boat for a relaxing cruise along some of St. Petersburg’s loveliest waterways, passing under several beautiful, ornate bridges. One of the most spectacular sights along the way is the onion-domed Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood, a church so elaborate it took almost 25 years to build. A cruise along the Moika and the Fontanka Rivers is another chance to appreciate history and splendid architecture of this beautiful city. In the beginning the city’s bridges were usually known by their color: Red, Blue, Green. The Blue Bridge at 328 ft. wide is the widest.
The area around the Moika River boasted a number of riverside mansions and was one of the city’s most fashionable addresses. Your cruise along the Moika has you passing such notable landmarks as St. Isaac Cathedral, a famous gambling club that Pushkin, the eminent Russian poet, described the club in his novel “The Queen of Spades”. Also seen is a group of yellow buildings that form the Teachers’ Training University. At the time of Catherine the Great it used to house the orphanage instituted by the empress. Before leaving the Moika, you’ll pass by the Stroganov Palace, a baroque masterpiece of Rastrelli. Count Stroganov who owned the palace in the late 18th century was the president of the Academy of Arts and a noted collector. The Stroganovs amassed their huge fortune through the monopoly they held on salt, which came from mines in their vast territories in the north.
Your boat cruises under the Choir Bridge, which takes its name from the Choir Hall located nearby and then turns onto the Fontanka or Fountain River. Its name goes back to the early 18th century when the water of the river used to feed the fountains of the Summer Gardens. On the right bank of the Fontanka stands the Summer Palace of Peter the Great. Peter had his rooms on the ground floor and his wife’s rooms on the first floor. The Summer Gardens and the Summer Palace used to be the center of the city’s social life. On the left bank you’ll see the former Law School which counts Peter Tchaikovsky as one of its first graduates.
Continuing on, you’ll pass the “Salt Town” – a former warehouse for storing salt which dates back to the 18th century. The present day building was erected in 1870 for an All-Russia industrial exhibition. Further along, St. Panteleimon’s Bridge across the Fontanka is Russia’s first chain bridge. It is decorated with double-headed eagles perched on laurel wreaths. At this point, your boat turns back onto the Moika River where you will the Engineers’ Castle built for Paul I. The castle originally had drawbridges and moats since Paul was afraid of assassination. Unfortunately, soon after moving in he was killed by a group of his courtiers. On the right is the Swan Canal leading into the Neva. It is named after swans that were once drawn to its peaceful waters. Next is the Field of Mars square. It used to be a military parade ground for Russian troops.
One of the last landmarks you will see is considered one of the most beautiful churches in St. Petersburg – the Church of the Spilled Blood. This marvelous Old Russian-style church was built on the spot where Emperor Alexander II was assassinated on March 1, 1881. Built in 1883-1907, the church is designed in the spirit of the sixteenth and seventeenth century Russian architecture, inspired particularly by St. Basil Cathedral in Moscow’s Red Square. The best Russian painters, masters of stone carving, ceramic and enamel took part in the decoration of the Church and it is truly magnificent.
Following your canal ride, you’ll transfer by coach directly back to the pier.
Please note: Dependent upon tidal rise and fall, there are times when guests may have to walk across duckboards to embark the boat. The boat’s route may vary due to technical reasons, e.g. high water level, bridge repairs etc. Due to the security reasons it is necessary to remain seated when on the upper deck of of boat while passing under the bridges.

Grand Imperial Evening with the Tsars ::
Excursion fee £125 pp
Relive the luxury of the 18th-century Imperial Russian court on an evening visit to one of the most amazing Royal Palaces.
Following a 17-mile journey south, you will be greeted by Royal Guards in front of the lavish Catherine Palace. The palace’s stunning aqua blue and white facade that stretches 984 ft. in length,is adorned with a profusion of atlantes, columns, pilasters and ornamental window framing. This summer residence is renowned for its splendid interior with the finest of furnishings and china.
Once inside the palace you will view an exhibition of the Romanovs’ portraits and private rooms before entering the Golden Suite of Rooms where the world famous Amber Room is located. The Amber Room of the palace was once considered to be the “Eighth Wonder of the World”. The amber wall panels were presented to Peter the Great in 1717 by King Friedrich Wilhelm. The original panels were too short for the high ceilings in the Catherine Palace but Rastrelli found a simple solution. He set 24 narrow pilasters faced with mirrors between the panels and installed a canvas frieze above them painted to match the amber. The panels were made of small pieces of amber, decorated with moldings in amber and weighed 800 kg. The panels were too heavy to dismantle and evacuate to safety when the Second World War broke out and they were looted by the Nazi army, dispatched to Germany and never seen again. Preserved photographs and archives from the time helped Russian art experts to fashion thin amber pieces so that they exactly match the original in shape and color, thus recreating the legendary work of art. Once again, the eye is mesmerized and blinded by the wealth and warmth of the amber tones, from lemony yellow to a deep red.
You will then proceed to the Grand Hall where you will be served a glass of Russian sparkling wine to the sounds of classical music. The arrangement of large windows and mirrors in the spaces of wall between them, as well as the multiple reflections in the mirrors, gilded carvings and the vast ceiling painting – all combine to create the illusion of infinite space. As in days gone by, Catherine II will mix with her honored guests while the orchestra provides musical accompaniment.
Following the reception you will descend the Main staircase with your fellow Regent guests to the courtyard where the pageantry continues. The Imperial Guards will parade to the music and a carriage will arrive with a courtly couple that will dance one last time before departing. Next, a short transfer by coach will take you to the Imperial Carriage Museum. Here, enjoy a guided inspection of the 23 coaches by well-known Russian and Western European masters of the 18th and 19th centuries, that once carried Russia’s highest nobility.
Afterwards, you will proceed to a local restaurant, where you will be treated to traditional Russian cuisine and a performance by a Russia folkloric group. When your exciting and magical evening comes to a close, you will return to the pier where your ship awaits.
Please note: The dinner is a set meal dependent upon the restaurant venue used. Vegetarian meal requests should be made with the Destination Services Desk.
