Founded in 1010, Yaroslavl is a Golden Ring city along the Volga river and it will be celebrating its monumental millennial anniversary this year.
Travelers along Viking River Cruises’ Waterways of the Czars itinerary have the unique opportunity to visit Yaroslavl in addition to many other quaint villages along the Volga bookended by extended time in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Viking’s excursion to Yaroslavl will give cruisers the chance to see the Church of the Epiphany, visit the Church of St. Elijah, featuring its wonderfully frescoed interior and take in the sounds of a traditional local choir.
