Destination Details
Uglich
City or Town
Uglich is best known as the town where Prince Dmitri, son of Ivan the Terrible, was murdered. The wooden house in which the Prince occupied and the Church of St. Demetrius memorialize this historic event.
This is possibly the most charming of all Russian provinces and one of the major points of interest of the famous Golden Ring. There aren't so many places in Russia where the magnificence of landscapes along the Volga River and rich historical and cultural heritage are embodied in a great number of unique monuments of art.
The region is a fountain of information for those interested in Russian history, architecture or culture. The abundance of museums, Old Russian churches, monasteries and buildings, as well as benevolent atmosphere of the region no doubt will touch the very bottom of your heart. The fascination of the Yaroslavl region is also in the fact that being near the capital of Russia it has retained up to now its unique colouring of a genuine Russian province. Coziness and paradise-like atmosphere of a small town, cordiality and hospitality of the locals, a slow pace of the Russian province’s life - all this gives our guests the opportunity to understand the famous Russian sole.

Specialty cruises are so different from big box cruises. Mainstream cruises can easily be bought 'off the shelf'. Not so with specialty cruises.
You need solid advice when deciding which specialty cruise is right for you.
