ABOUT THE SHIP
The Alexandre Benois is a medium—sized boarding ship. This is a chamber ship that accepts no more than 130 guests on board. The ratio of the number of crew members to the number of guests is 1:2, which means increased attention to each guest and a truly warm homely atmosphere on board.

The company has been creating river cruises in Russia since 2004 and is the shipowner of 9 comfortable motor ships. All ships have been upgraded and have different classes of cabins. The uniform standard of the company is the presence on each ship of a separate deck of cabins with a balcony.

It offers cruises on its own ships in the central part of Russia, along the Volga, Kama, Don and others rivers, as well as along the Ob and Irtysh rivers of Siberia.

As part of the "Discovering the World" project, the company organizes cruises on Lake Baikal and the Turkish Riviera along the Mediterranean Sea.

The company's mission is to make people happy!

placement
For comfortable accommodation, cabins from standard to junior suites with a balcony are waiting for you. There are many double cabins, as well as single, triple and quadruple cabins. By navigation-2022, the cabin area on the boat deck has been completely reconstructed on the ship – new cabins with an increased area with individual balconies have appeared there.

nutrition
There are two restaurants on board the ship – on the boat and main decks. Delicious dishes from the chef will be waiting for you here three times a day.
