Our guests explored Baikal by jeep, crossing frozen ice fields, caves, cliffs, and the striking Khoboy Cape. Their day ended with dinner cooked over an open fire on the ice.
Tour the Sayano-Shushenskaya Hydroelectric Power Station, Russia’s most powerful. Its 242-meter dam dwarfs the Cheops pyramid and bears the world’s largest country-name inscription: RUSSIA. Explore Khakassia’s dramatic nature and the Yenisei River.
Raketa, Russia’s coolest watch, debuted in 1961. Just 200 specialists hand-assemble each piece. Its in-house calibers blend Soviet watchmaking heritage with modern technology. The limited 300-piece Russian Code even runs counterclockwise.
You can’t see Russia in one trip, but these cities are essential: Derbent, Suzdal, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Ulan-Ude, Yakutsk, Irkutsk and Lake Baikal, Vladivostok, Kamchatka, Murmansk, St. Petersburg, and Moscow.
