Kenny & Joe

Thank you David!

We had a great time. Everyone was pleased and can't stop talking about how wonderful it was. The biggest thing I keep hearing is how wonderful the food was! Even my friends that work for Frasier Yachts commented on the quality, taste, and presentation. Awesome crew and staff!!

Thank you so much...All the best...

A special thank you to Sun Dream!!! From the beginning to the end they make you feel like family. There are no words to express my gratitude for every one from the crew to behind the scenes help. Everything was beyond perfection. People are still saying it was by far the best wedding they have been to. Thank you kristin and carol for all your work and attention to details !!!!....excellent recommendations on dj and photographer!!.....Sandee Jewell and Eddie b and company!! Thank you for everything....

Mr & Mrs. Andrew

We just had our wedding on the Sun Dream Yacht on May 24th, and it was everything I could have ever wanted. Jim and his staff went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding day was an amazing day to remember. Excellent food and tentative/friendly wait staff! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Once again, our annual company cruise aboard the Catalina was a hit. Everyone I talked to today raved about the food and the overall experience. It was a first cruise for a few new employees and they were very pleased with the event. The weather couldn't have been better, and Carol and the staff were great! They bent over backwards to make it perfect. I was surprised and happy to see Rose again. She was with us on our first cruise aboard the Caprice.

Hopefully, we'll be able to hold another cruise later this year. I've already nudged Sharon and said we have to book early to get a good date. Have a good year and I'll be in touch.

THANK YOU Sun Dream and especially ROSE!

I had one of the BEST nights of my life, aboard the Caprice, this past Friday night, celebrating my 50th (really 30th!) birthday! The food was DELICIOUS! (My guests can’t stop raving about it.) And the service was exceptional! Rose, especially, attended to our every need. Somehow, amongst 3 decks, she always managed to be near me and yet still be sure that the staff accommodated every guest! As you knew, I had worked ” in the biz” (for 20 years). From our booking with Kristin, to your staff loading the cart with all of our things upon our exit, EVERYTHING was perfect. Alby and I Thank YOU! Thank YOU!! Thank YOU!!

I was responsible for planning a recent event for an organization in which I am involved. We all agreed we really wanted a cruise experience! Quite frankly, I thought it would be a daunting task to plan, that was until I contacted Sun Dream Yacht Charters. They handled everything! And I mean everything. First of all, the service was superb and the staff could not have been more wonderful and accommodating. The food was amazing. We had an impressive buffet, with choices for everyone. Nothing like cruising up and down south Florida's intracoastal waterways! What views! All in all, we had a first class, unforgettable experience that people are still taking about!

Fabulous experience from start to finish! Beautiful yacht, food was delicious and the service wonderful! 5 Stars!!

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
