Winter hovercraft tour along the Neva
From 3800 ₽
Nevsky Prospekt? Now it's a river! Introducing the main winter novelty: an exclusive hovercraft (ACV) tour on the ice of the Neva. Race along the ice track in the heart of the city and see the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Winter Palace, and the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island from an incredible angle. This is not a walk—it's a flight above the snowy surface. Climb to the bow of the vessel for a striking photo, feel the drive and the breath of the winter Neva. A must-do for anyone who wants to see St. Petersburg in a new way!
