An art aficionado’s cruise hosted by Fine Art Connoisseur Publisher B. Eric Rhoads and Editor Peter Trippi on the luxury ship Crystal Symphony.

Imagine walking the long gilded halls of the Hermitage museum in St. Petersburg, Russia and seeing Catherine the Great's unparalleled collection of artworks though the eyes of insiders. Experience a private tour after-hours, time with curators and experts whose stories about artwork are rarely heard by museum visitors. Plus visit the Russian State museum and see famous Russian works you cannot see elsewhere.


Cruise on one of the most wonderful ships in the world with new friends, who like you love or collect fine art. Unwind at sea in the spectacular state rooms.

See Russia through the eyes of a curator. Plus you'll have time to visit the jewels of Russia's great sites in your leisure time. We believe this is a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see St. Petersburg in a very special way.
