Moscow sounds like an epic for our soul, as if the history of the entire Russian people is embedded in it. When such thoughts arise, the main symbols of the capital flicker before our eyes - the Kremlin, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, and the unique bridges that intertwine the heavens with the water.
But if you set off on an exciting journey along the Moskva River, then completely new facets of the city will open up before you. From the water, everything is seen in a special way - historical shrines seem even more majestic, and modern buildings reveal their lines and shapes in a new light.
During the one-hour cruise, you will see the Kremlin, as a symbol of power and history, and St. Basil's Cathedral, like a fiery flower in the heart of the city. Passing by Zaryadye Park, you will encounter the Floating Bridge, which Muscovites fell in love with for its boldness and beauty. Suddenly, the Variety Theater will appear before you, reminding you that Moscow is not only about history, but also a continuous movement towards new ideas.
The Cathedral of Christ the Savior, majestic and glowing on the embankment, will remind you of faith and spirituality, while the Monument to Peter the Great on Krasny Oktyabr, a creation of Tsereteli, will give you moments of inspiration and understanding of creative power.
Do not pass by the Muzeon Park, where sculptures live their own lives, and the Crimean Bridge, which seems to intertwine two parts of the city in the embrace of steel structures.
And when the majestic building of the Ministry of Defense appears on the horizon, a feeling of pride and respect for the history and defense of our country will awaken in your heart.
Complete your journey at Gorky Park, where cultures and ideas merge, and where everyone can find their place in the endless world of Moscow.
And do not forget to capture these moments - take the best photos and selfies from the most unusual angles, so that each frame becomes a kind of memory of your unique journey through the capital.
"Sovetsky Soyuz" is not just a river vessel, but a true symbol of an era, taking us back to the times when every journey was a unique adventure. A sun-drenched deck carpet, a fresh breeze carrying the scent of past adventures – all this can be experienced by embarking on an exciting journey on the retro motor ship "Sovetsky Soyuz", which has been conquering the rivers again since 2006.
Built in 1954 at the Moscow Shipbuilding Yard, "Sovetsky Soyuz" is a bright representative of the "Moskvich" type vessels of Project 544 – a symbol of the post-war era. Originally named "M-146", it began its journey in the Sukhona River Shipping Company in Vologda under the name "Ulyana Gromova". Later, in August 1999, it changed its location on the map, becoming "Mariinka" in Vytegra, Vologda Oblast. In 2005, this legendary ship was acquired and renovated, coming to life again in Moscow under the banner of "Sovetsky Soyuz".
There are two decks on board the vessel: the lower deck is a cozy indoor passenger salon, while the upper deck offers an open-air area with the opportunity to enjoy the landscapes in the bow, as well as a comfortable awning-covered terrace at the stern. "Sovetsky Soyuz" accommodates up to 50 passengers and provides a unique bar and tour guide services.
This updated "Sovetsky Soyuz" is not just a vessel; it is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the 50s and feel the spirit of that era. Despite a complete reconstruction, it has preserved its unique charm of the Soviet Union era on the outside.
During the reconstruction, the craftsmen persistently sought to restore the original appearance of the "Sovetsky Soyuz" motor ship. Even in the choice of materials, they adhered to old traditions, preferring noble wood, despite its durability. Inside the ship, the retro style is captivating, where glittering brass, exquisitely woven into the design, and monochrome photographs add a special charm.
The rounded shapes, characteristic of both the exterior and interior spaces, give this vessel a special charm and sophistication. There are no excesses or complex decorations here. An elegant banquet hall decorated with warm mahogany is located in the stern compartment, creating a special festive atmosphere. The superbly chosen color scheme is felt in every corner of the vessel, and maritime details such as metal lamps, compasses, maps, and vintage posters give this place a unique marine flavor.
About the pier
Due to its exceptional location, from the very first days of operation, the Zaryadye pier has become the epicenter of most river events in the center of the capital. The best and most spectacular river cruises either start from here or complete their exquisite route here. Close to the pier are such monumental structures as the Moscow Kremlin and St. Basil's Cathedral.
The opening of the pier took place in the summer of 2017 on the territory of the park of the same name, located in one of the oldest districts of the city - Zaryadye. Over its rich history, the district has managed to be the most famous city fair, a quarter where employees of various embassies lived, and an abandoned construction site in the very center of the city due to the prolonged dismantling of the Rossiya Hotel.
Currently, the park is a true symbol of modern Moscow, where rare plants complement the landscape crafted by designers, and the architectural dominant of the project, the futuristic Floating Bridge, towers over the spacious pier.
