Vladivostok, Russia

Central Square

Introduction

Vladivostok is Russia's main east coast seaport and home to Russia's Pacific naval fleet.

Visas

Unlike St Petersburg, most cruise ship visitors do not require a visa to visit Vladivostok nor do you need to be on a tour from a government authorized company. It always best to confirm with your cruise line for the latest visa requirements.

Where You're Docked

Cruise ships dock at Morskoy Vokzal (Sea Terminal) beside town. The terminal is adjacent to the railway station and main post office.

Local Transportation

Vladivostok's central area is fairly small and easily walkable from the cruise terminal.
