July 18 to 28, 2015 Dear Penn Alumni and Friends,

Experience the timeless pageantry and traditional folkways of with Penn Professor Phil Nichols as you travel on the lakes and canals that link St. Petersburg with . Between these two grand cultural capitals lies a countryside seemingly untouched by the modern age. Golden-domed churches rise out of the early morning mist, quaint wooden villages and old-world farms dot the verdant landscape, and the gentle light of summer evenings gives an otherworldly aura to the banks of Russia’s great “blue road” of inland waterways. Sail aboard the exclusively chartered Five-Star small ship M.S. DREAM, the best ship cruising Russia’s waterways and the only low-density passenger vessel to ply these waters. Accommodating only 90 guests in deluxe, river-view Cabins and Staterooms, the M.S. VOLGA DREAM and its highly trained, English-speaking staff ensure you will enjoy an intimate atmosphere, personalized service and highly praised continental cuisine throughout your cruise. Explore the preeminent artistic, historical and architectural treasures of classical , and several “Golden Ring” cities, during an excellent time of year. Visit splendid St. Petersburg—Russia’s “window on the West”—the majestic legacy of that most visionary of czars, . From St. Petersburg, cruise through the heart of Russia, where everyday life unfolds at the measured pace it has kept for generations. Here, villagers still dwell in traditional wooden cottages and preserve the old-world customs of their ancestors, and onion-domed churches and fortifi ed monasteries testify to the abiding faith of the Russian people. Our program concludes with one night aboard ship in the fabled city of Moscow, the political and commercial capital of the world’s largest country and the cultural frontier between East and West. This unique opportunity features the premier ship in Russia and a thoughtfully crafted, comprehensive itinerary featuring opportunities to visit ten UNESCO World Heritage sites. This popular program is a great value and sells out quickly, so I encourage you to reserve today while Early Booking Savings and space are available.

St. Petersburg’s Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul was the city’s fi rst building to be commissioned by Peter the Great in 1703. Russia’s Cultural Capitals

Among the world’s prodigious capitals of culture, no two cities are held in higher regard than St. Petersburg and Moscow. St. Petersburg will capture your imagination; Moscow will stir your soul.

The very creation of St. Petersburg was a cultural statement by Peter the Great, whose vision was to “open a window on the West” to rival Europe’s greatest cities. This epicenter of art and architecture is highlighted during a specially reserved entrance and tour of the State Hermitage Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage site, allowing you to view the incomparable treasures of Catherine the Great’s spectacular art collections. True to Peter the Great’s vision, St. Petersburg, the artistic, literary and musical center of Russia, has engendered universally revered ballets, novels and classical compositions.

An important trading hub long before Ivan the Terrible declared it Russia’s capital in 1547, Moscow is a medieval city in its layout and original architecture. Today this sophisticated city is a showcase of four UNESCO World Heritage sites and continues to be the pulse of Russian fi nance, commerce, education and research. Here, you will visit the mesmerizing Kremlin Museums complex, including the famous Armoury Chamber, golden-domed churches and historic government buildings, and experience fi rsthand one of the most dynamic cities in the world.
