Tailor-make your trip

Moscow is a remarkable destination at any time of year, but this exclusive six-day tour offers a unique chance to experience the city during Russia’s Victory Day celebrations. This powerful event is a national tribute to the defenders of the Motherland, honouring those who fought in the Second World War. With the Soviet Union having lost over 20 million people, Victory Day holds profound significance, and the atmosphere in Moscow on this day is truly unforgettable.

Since the Soviet era, Victory Day has been marked by a grand military parade, featuring various branches of the armed forces, state-of-the-art military hardware, and impressive aviation displays. This longstanding tradition not only showcases Russia’s military strength but also commemorates the heroic efforts of those who secured victory in 1945.

During your extended stay in the Russian capital, you will have ample time to immerse yourself in its rich history and culture. You will visit iconic landmarks such as Red Square and the Kremlin, enjoy a scenic boat cruise along the Moskva River, and explore a museum dedicated to the war’s heroic figures.

Important Note: Your accommodation is at the five-star Hotel National, a historic landmark built in 1903 by Russian architect Alexander Ivanov. While it was formerly part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection, it now operates independently. On Victory Day, Red Square is reserved for veterans and government officials, with surrounding areas closed to the public. This tour offers the best available viewing point of the parade columns as they make their way towards Red Square. Although access to the square itself is restricted, you will be able to watch the impressive procession from the hotel's public areas, such as the restaurant, which overlooks the main street. You may also wish to step outside the building to view the parade from the street, but this cannot be guaranteed due to security measures that may limit access to the area. For an enhanced experience, you have the option to upgrade your room to one with a street view.
