Voyages of Discovery, the UK based destinational brand in the All Leisure group, will offer passengers of the 20,636 gross ton Discovery an evening at the Hermitage in St Petersburg on two cruises next summer.
“Cruises to the Baltic offer an inspiring and cultural alternative to the warmer climes of the Mediterranean. Overflowing with fine art, architecture and history it’s no surprise this destination is emerging as the new holiday hotspot.
