    • Not a danger, but definitely part warning, part advice.
    YOU MUST APPLY MONTHS IN ADVANCE FOR A RUSSIAN VISA!

    HOWEVER: on the Fred.Olsen cruise ship we were on, the tours could go off the ship on GROUP VISAS. The best 'tour' was the city-centre shopping tour. A coach picked you up from the ship & took you along a few streets, with a guide pointing out buildings, etc..
    The coaches then stopped in the city centre & let you off to look round the city for a couple of hours on your own on a group Visa & then picked you up for a drive & some commentary as you went back to the ship. Nice!
    ...This was the case in 2003. I hope this 'loophole' hasn't been closed.
