Sailing with Azamara Club Cruises, we visited a number of interesting places on our Summer Russia and Baltics itinerary.  Headlining the advance information provided by the cruise line, a two night stay in St Petersburg would bring all the sites, landmarks and places promised and a bit more.  It was that ‘a bit more’ part that set our stop in St Petersburg apart from all others.

Not to be a never-ending loop of preaching on the virtues of paying attention to detail; Azamara does.  One would think it logical for all cruise lines to do this.  Not all do.  Even travel service providers who are quite adept at nailing the details get a little help from chance/luck from time to time.  A unique diversity in the weather experienced over our two days provided such a lucky break for Azamara travelers, as we see in this Exposure Photo Narrative, the first in a series that will be released over the next few months.
