We are traveling to Russia on a river cruise in 2013. The cruise company's visa expediting service is arranging for our visas. I have been told by both the cruise company and the visa service that the exit date on our visas will be the date the cruise ends. This seems unreasonable to me, since any number of things could delay our flight out of Russia. Is this typical or should the cruise company add at least a few extra days to our visas? Thanks for any help you can provide.

We're taking a Russian riverboat cruise in 2013, so I'd also like to know. I agree that having the visa expire on the date the cruise ends seems risky.
I too would like to know.
Go to Europe, then click on Russia in the view of countries drop down menu. There are several helpful responses there.
