St. Petersburg Visa

I'm confused. Princess said I need a Russian Visa if I don't book one of their tours of St. Petersburg. If I book the Valu Excursion with Den-Rus will I need one? One site says one thing, Princess says another. Please Help

Double check with Den Rus but last year I went on a tour with them and they provided a Visa. The rule then was either a ship tour or an escorted tour you didn't need to get a visa. But if you want to venture out on your own, then you need a visa.

You will need to have the Visa if you want to go on your own. If you book an organized tour either Princess, Denrus, Red October then you are all set.

ENJOY your cruise.
I did the Baltic this August & loved it.
