Read more Information about our Ukraine River Cruise:
Welcome to Ukraine, one of Europe's last hidden treasures. Long in the shadow of the Soviet Empire, this lovely country, rich in history, culture and natural beauty, regained its independence in 1991 and opened its doors to the world. From gorgeous Odessa, the gateway to the Black Sea, to Yalta and its world-class beaches, to Zaporozhye, the home of the fearless Cossack warriors, and to cosmopolitan Kiev, with its wide, tree-lined boulevards and a thousand-year-old history, Ukraine is a true treasure chest of natural and man-made attractions waiting to be explored. We are pleased to introduce to you this new and exciting travel destination in the hopes that we may one day share in the pleasure of your company as you discover Ukraine with us.
One of the best ways to explore this diverse country is by cruising the magnificent Dnieper River. At 1,420 miles in length, it is the third longest river in Europe, after the Volga and the Danube. The benefits of a river cruise are many. No packing and unpacking, as our floating hotel will take you from one exciting destination to the next. All your meals are included, as are most of your shore excursions. Our on-board staff of guides, cruise directors, and talented entertainers will delight you with their lectures, music, and hospitality. Sit back and enjoy an unforgettable journey from Odessa to Kiev, and all of the unique Ukrainian stops in between.
As either a starting or ending point for our cruises, Odessa is sure to delight you. A mild climate and a youthful, vibrant population have drawn the rich and the famous to this Black Sea port for centuries. Its most famous citizen, the French Duke De Richelieu, transformed the city into a thriving center of commerce and culture. Its Opera House, and the Potemkin Stairs, are world-renowned, while its tree-lined promenades and classical buildings painted in pastel hues invoke another era. Life on board our floating hotel will be as exciting as the ports you will be visiting.
Our first stop, Sevastopol, is home to the Russian Navy's feared Black Sea Fleet. Closed to foreign visitors until the early 1990s, Sevastopol today is a city of clean and orderly boulevards, neo-classical Russian buildings, and the unique Panorama Museum. As our ship sails from Sevastopol to Yalta, the optional bus excursion across the Crimean peninsula will take you to see the unique cliff-side fortress of Swallow's Nest. The historic Livadia Palace, the location where Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill decided the fate of post-war Europe, will be equally impressive. Stunningly situated between the Crimean mountains and the Black Sea, Yalta has been a major destination for poets, politicians, artists, writers, and the Russian Czar's family. Kherson is the gateway to the Dnieper delta. Here, you will board smaller boats that will take you to an authentic Ukrainian fishing village. A local family will host an al fresco lunch, accompanied with some improvised entertainment.
Zaporozhye, a name that conjures up images of fierce, pony-tailed warriors, is also the home of the first independence movements of Ukraine. Here you will enjoy a tour of the city, and a visit to the unique Zaporozhye Cossack museum. The optional Cossack show will feature their horsemanship, weapon skills, and music. Home to Ukraine's favorite son, Taras Shevchenko, Kanev is both his birthplace and burial ground. After a tour of his museum, you will enjoy a special shashlik barbecue. There will be wine, entertainment, and a selection of songs performed by our enthusiastic flower girls.
Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, is also recognized as the birthplace of Kievan Rus, or Russia. It came to be in 988, when Prince Vladmir the Great baptized the whole country and introduced Christianity to this part of the world. Today, it's a city of wide boulevards, giant chestnut trees, and a smiling and youthful population. The people are friendly, the city is beautiful. We hope you have enjoyed our short intro to Ukraine. we also hope we will have the pleasure of your company in the nearest future, as we sail along the beautiful Black Sea and the romantic Dnieper River.

Cruising on the Dnieper River, Kyiv, Ukraine
Cruising on the Dnieper River can be beautiful even on a rainy day. The views from the boat are beautiful. It is a chance to see Kyiv from a different perspective.
The Dnieper River runs from the northern part of Ukraine to the Southern part. On it's way through Ukraine the Dnieper goes through the center on Kyiv.
This Cruise was a chance to experience the river again and to obtain some better footage of the beauty of the city of Kyiv from the river.
I hope you enjoy this Cruise on the Dnieper in the rain.

Zaporozhye Lock is the Deepest on Dnieper River, Ukraine
The Viking River Cruise passed through the Zaporozhye lock, the deepest of the five locks as our ship made its way down the Dnieper River. This was the third lock and the last we'd see operate during the day. Kherson would be the next port, followed by transit into the Black Sea.
A lock is a device that raises and lowers boats between different river levels. The Mikhail entered the lock during lunchtime and passengers either rushed outside to take photographs or stayed in the glass-enclosed Kiev Restaurant to watch this unique sight.

The Dnieper River or Dnipro is one of the major rivers of Europe, rising near Smolensk, Russia and flowing through Russia, Belarus and Ukraine to the Black Sea. It is the longest river of Ukraine and Belarus and the fourth-longest river in Europe. The total length is approximately 2,200 km (1,400 mi)[4] with a drainage basin of 504,000 square kilometres (195,000 sq mi). The river is noted for its dams and hydroelectric stations. The Dnieper is an important navigable waterway for the economy of Ukraine and is connected via the Dnieper–Bug Canal to other waterways in Europe.

Dnieper River is a wonderful place to take a river cruise. You get a chance to see many of the historical sites and impressive churches from a relaxed vantage point. *I APOLOGIZE FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF THIS VIDEO!* In spite of that I hope you enjoy this throw back video that was filmed this past summer on my $100 Lenovo Smart phone.
Passing Through a Lock on The Dnieper River, Ukraine
The Viking River Cruise passes through five locks on its way down the Dnieper River from Kiev into the Black Sea. A lock is a device that raises and lowers boats between different river levels. The first lock passed through was at 1a and perhaps a few passengers stayed awake to watch. Not us!
The Lomonosov passed through the second lock during the day and it was quite an experience for both passengers who rushed on desk with cameras, and locals who stood watching. Very unique...
Ukraine 1943 ▶ Battle of Dnieper / Dnepr - Soviet documentary
Ukraine 1943 ▶ Dnieper Battle - Eastern Front World War 2
original unpublished footage World War II & Germany 1927-1945
The Battle of the Dnieper was a military campaign that took place in 1943 on the Eastern Front of World War II. It was one of the largest operations in World War II, involving almost 4,000,000 troops stretched on a 1,400 kilometres (870 mi) long front. During its four-month duration, the eastern bank of the Dnieper was recovered from German forces by five of the Red Army's fronts, which conducted several assault river crossings to establish several lodgements on the western bank. Subsequently, Kiev was liberated in the Battle of Kiev.
2,438 Red Army soldiers were awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union which was more than had been awarded previously since the award's establishment and never again was there such a large number of laureates.
The operation began on 26 August 1943. Divisions started to move on a 1,400-kilometer front that stretched between Smolensk and the Sea of Azov. Overall, the operation would be executed by 36 Combined Arms, four Tank and five Air Armies. 2,650,000 personnel were brought into the ranks for this massive operation. The operation would use 51,000 guns, 2,400 tanks and 2,850 planes.
The Dnieper is the third largest river in Europe, behind only the Volga and the Danube. In its lower part, its width can easily reach three kilometres, and being dammed in several places made it even larger. Moreover, its western shore—the one still to be retaken—was much higher and steeper than the eastern, complicating the offensive even further. In addition, the opposite shore was transformed into a vast complex of defenses and fortifications held by the Wehrmacht.
Faced with such a situation, the Soviet commanders had two options. The first would be to give themselves time to regroup their forces, find a weak point or two to exploit (not necessarily in the lower part of the Dnieper), stage a breakthrough and encircle the German defenders far in the rear, rendering the defence line unsupplied and next to useless (very much like the German Panzers bypassed the Maginot line in 1940). This option was supported by Marshal Zhukov and Deputy Chief of Staff A. I. Antonov, who considered the substantial losses after the fierce battle of Kursk. The second option would be to stage a massive assault without waiting, and force the Dnieper on a broad front. This option left no additional time for the German defenders, but would lead to much larger casualties than would a successful deep operation breakthrough. This second option was backed by I. V. Stalin due to the concern that the German scorched earth policy might devastate this region if the Red Army did not advance fast enough.
Stavka (the Soviet high command) chose the second option. Instead of deep penetration and encirclement, the Soviet intended to make full use of partisan activities to intervene and disrupt Germany's supply route so that the Germans could not effectively send reinforcements or take away Soviet industrial facilities in the region. Stavka also paid high attention to the possible scorched earth activities of German forces with a view to preventing them by a rapid advance.
The assault was staged on a 300-kilometer front almost simultaneously. All available means of transport were to be used to transport the attackers to the opposite shore, including small fishing boats and improvised rafts of barrels and trees (like the one in the photograph). The preparation of the crossing equipment was further complicated by the German scorched earth strategy with the total destruction of all boats and raft building material in the area. The crucial issue would obviously be heavy equipment. Without it, the bridgeheads would not stand for long.

Ukraine: Only rare birds and thrill-seekers can fly across the Dnieper
A rope, 600 metres long and 50 metres above the Dnieper river, is now a route for extreme sightseeing in Kiev. The exhilirating means of transport was constructed over the summer and is now open for business. The rope route is parallel with a Pedestrian bridge and connects Mariinsky park and Truhanov island.
Instructors on both sides of the river prepare the riders with the helmets and security belts and fasten them with ropes. Once ready, the rider jumps off the platform and enjoys the flight.
The trolley reaches the maximum speed of 60 km/h (37 mp/h) and gets users to their destination in less than a minute. There is a proverb in Ukraine saying: A rare bird will reach the middle of Dnieper, referring to the great width of this river. Now, humans are capable of the same feat.
