Carnival Splendor Inaugural Cruise, St Petersburg

My current plans are to do the Complete St Petersburg Tour (scroll down some). Complete St Petersburg is a package tour which can’t be modified and the group’s size is limited to 20 persons in the party. The package tour has settled price of $300US pp all inclusive (apart from video filming) no matter what actual group’s size will be (but no more then 20pax)

The first night, I will also probably do Carnival's White Nights Neva River cruise.

** All museums shown in the table above are for the inside visit

** City sightseeing tour includes stops or driving-by the most famous and beautiful city’s architectural ensembles and historical monuments: Tip of Vasilevsky Island, Log house of Peter the great, Battle ship Aurora, Nevsky prospect, Square of Arts, Ostrovsky square, monument to Catherine the Great, Alexandrinsky theatre, Yeliseevsky grocery store, National library, Russian museum, Guest Department store, Kazan Cathedral, Admiralty, Monument to Peter the Great, Mariinsky theatre, St Nicholas Cathedral . The tour gives comprehensive view of the historical downtown and acquaints well with the city. On the way to suburban estates you will drive-by residential areas of the city where majority of St Petersburg’s residents live.

I'm thinking I might want to do some sort of evening tour the first night, but haven't found many others interested (Yet!).
