The collection of works in the renowned State Hermitage Museum is one of the richest in the world. The museum was founded in 1764 as a private museum of Catherine the Great, to which only she and her closest courtiers had access, and is now Russia’s largest art museum, housing around three million pieces. The collection occupies four buildings, including the Small Hermitage, the Old Hermitage, and the New Hermitage, all connected to the magnificent Winter Palace, the former official residence of the imperial family, designed by Rastrelli and built between 1754 and 1762. Here view the Malachite Room, where more than two tons of this unique, deep green, ornamental stone was used to craft its columns, vases, and fireplace. As you walk the halls, marvel at exhibits of 15th to 16th-century French art, as well as impressionist works.
In the Small Hermitage, explore works of 17th-century Flemish art and 15th and 16th-century Dutch art.

Drive to Tsarskoye Selo which means « the Tsar's village ». It was founded in the 18th century as the summer residence of the Russian tsars. In 1937, its name was changed to « Pushkin » to commemorate the centenary of the death of the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, who had studied in the Imperial Lyceum there.
Arrive in Pushkin and visit the Catherine Palace, designed by architect Rastrelli. The stunning 300-metre long baroque facade is adorned with a profusion of atlantes, columns, pilasters and ornamental window framings. Visit the Amber room, the ballroom and the famous Green dining room. Next, walk through Catherine’s park and visit the private garden.
After the tour, you will enjoy a traditional Russian lunch in a nearby restaurant.
A short drive will bring you to Pavlovsk, the former summer royal residence of Emperor Paul I, Catherine's only son. The history of Pavlovsk began in 1777 when Catherine the Great, overjoyed at the birth of her first grandson Alexander, presented the vast hunting grounds to her son Paul and his wife Maria. The construction of the Palace was entrusted to Catherine's favourite architect, Charles Cameron, who was to design the Palace and the grounds. Pavlovsk remained a residence of the Romanov imperial family until 1915. Pavlovsk is a place that has retained an atmosphere of warm intimacy and sumptuous cosiness, which still enchants us.
The Pavlovsk Park created by Pietro Gonzaga is one of the largest parks in Europe. Set within 1800 acres (728 ha) of birch and firs, meadows and wild flowers, it is renowned for the natural scenic beauty of the landscape, enhanced by exquisite samples of garden sculpture and architecture.

From the pier, board your coach for a 45-minute drive to the famous Fabergé museum.
The private Fabergé Museum opened its doors at the recently renovated Shuvalov Palace in St. Petersburg on 19 November 2013. Here, billionaire Viktor Vekselberg has placed his priceless collection of Fabergé eggs on display for the general public.
The collection on display includes over 4,000 works of art from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including fifteen Fabergé eggs, nine of which are famous Imperial Fabergé eggs previously owned by the Romanov family.
It took 10 years to create the current collection, and it is still growing. At the new Fabergé Museum, you will see many unique exhibits, among which other works of the famous jeweller, royal silverware, precious icons and other religious ornaments, collection of paintings on enamel, other objects of decorative and applied art, paintings by famous Russian and foreign artists.
Viktor Vekselberg purchased the famous Malcolm Forbes Fabergé Collection from the Forbes family in 2004 for about $100 million. Most notable among this collection are the Rosebud Egg, Lilies-of-the-Valley Egg, Coronation Egg and particularly the Hen Egg and the Order of St. George Egg, that represent the first and last eggs received by Empress Maria, wife of Alexander III.
The Imperial eggs enjoyed great fame, and Fabergé was commissioned to make similar eggs for a few private clients, including the Duchess of Marlborough, the Rothschild family and Prince Yusupov. A series of seven eggs were also made for the industrialist Alexander Kelch.
Vekselberg’s nine Imperial Easter Eggs are of the 50 that are left in the world today. Ten are in the Moscow Kremlin Collection, five are at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, Va., and two belong to Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II. The whereabouts of eight are unknown. The others are in various displays throughout the U.S., Switzerland and Monaco.
After the visit, reboard your coach for the return drive to the pier and your ship.

Here view the Malachite Room, where more than two tons of this unique, deep green, ornamental stone was used to craft its columns, vases, and fireplace. As you walk the halls, marvel at exhibits of 15th to 16th-century French art, as well as impressionist works.

Drive to Tsarskoye Selo which means « the Tsar's village ». It was founded in the 18th century as the summer residence of the Russian tsars. In 1937, its name was changed to « Pushkin » to commemorate the centenary of the death of the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, who had studied in the Imperial Lyceum there.
Arrive in Pushkin and visit the Catherine Palace, designed by architect Rastrelli. The stunning 300-metre long baroque facade is adorned with a profusion of atlantes, columns, pilasters and ornamental window framings. Visit the Amber room, the ballroom and the famous Green dining room. Next, walk through Catherine’s park and visit the private garden.
After the tour, you will enjoy a traditional Russian lunch in a nearby restaurant.
A short drive will bring you to Pavlovsk, the former summer royal residence of Emperor Paul I, Catherine's only son. The history of Pavlovsk began in 1777 when Catherine the Great, overjoyed at the birth of her first grandson Alexander, presented the vast hunting grounds to her son Paul and his wife Maria. The construction of the Palace was entrusted to Catherine's favourite architect, Charles Cameron, who was to design the Palace and the grounds. Pavlovsk remained a residence of the Romanov imperial family until 1915. Pavlovsk is a place that has retained an atmosphere of warm intimacy and sumptuous cosiness, which still enchants us.
The Pavlovsk Park created by Pietro Gonzaga is one of the largest parks in Europe. Set within 1800 acres (728 ha) of birch and firs, meadows and wild flowers, it is renowned for the natural scenic beauty of the landscape, enhanced by exquisite samples of garden sculpture and architecture.

From the pier, board your coach for a 45-minute drive to the famous Fabergé museum.
The private Fabergé Museum opened its doors at the recently renovated Shuvalov Palace in St. Petersburg on 19 November 2013. Here, billionaire Viktor Vekselberg has placed his priceless collection of Fabergé eggs on display for the general public.
The collection on display includes over 4,000 works of art from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including fifteen Fabergé eggs, nine of which are famous Imperial Fabergé eggs previously owned by the Romanov family.
It took 10 years to create the current collection, and it is still growing. At the new Fabergé Museum, you will see many unique exhibits, among which other works of the famous jeweller, royal silverware, precious icons and other religious ornaments, collection of paintings on enamel, other objects of decorative and applied art, paintings by famous Russian and foreign artists.
Viktor Vekselberg purchased the famous Malcolm Forbes Fabergé Collection from the Forbes family in 2004 for about $100 million. Most notable among this collection are the Rosebud Egg, Lilies-of-the-Valley Egg, Coronation Egg and particularly the Hen Egg and the Order of St. George Egg, that represent the first and last eggs received by Empress Maria, wife of Alexander III.
The Imperial eggs enjoyed great fame, and Fabergé was commissioned to make similar eggs for a few private clients, including the Duchess of Marlborough, the Rothschild family and Prince Yusupov. A series of seven eggs were also made for the industrialist Alexander Kelch.
Vekselberg’s nine Imperial Easter Eggs are of the 50 that are left in the world today. Ten are in the Moscow Kremlin Collection, five are at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, Va., and two belong to Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II. The whereabouts of eight are unknown. The others are in various displays throughout the U.S., Switzerland and Monaco.
After the visit, reboard your coach for the return drive to the pier and your ship.
