Boat trip to Dnieper delta (included into cruise program)

Kherson

We offer you a boat trip along the channels and inflows of the Dnieper river.

You will see Kherson from the river. This sunny city is situated on the right bank of the Dnieper, 28 km from its mouth.
The city is a regional center with the population of about 500 000 people. In 1778 the first stone was laid in the foundation of a fortress and town, which has got its name from one of the Greek colonies in Crimea Chersoness. The town was founded as a sea port in the south of Russia, together with a shipyard for the Black Sea fleet. The history of the city is closely connected with such outstanding personalities as General Ivan Gannibal, who supervised the construction of the city and the port, Admiral Fedor Ushakov, who helped to build the first Russian military ships, Commander Alexander Suvorov, who came to Kherson before the Russian-Turkish war to examine the place of possible fighting battles in this area.
You will visit the Fishermens’ island where you will get acquainted with everyday life, customs and traditions of local people, will visit their homes and families. Our stay on the island will last for 1 hour.

Note: While in fishermens’ homes, the hospitable locals will invite you to the table and treat you with traditional dishes and drinks. We recommend thanking them with tips.
