The Dnieper River is one of the major rivers of Europe and one of the longest, flowing 1,420 miles from glaciers in central Russia, through Belarus and Ukraine until eventually emptying into the Black Sea.
Cruising the Dnieper River includes landscapes of gently rolling hills dotted with forest groves, ancient villages, wide lakes and reservoirs. The reservoirs are formed from dams and hydroelectric stations that have become a well-known part of the river.
The Dnieper is an extremely important navigable waterway for the economy of Ukraine, a series of lock systems have been built along its 500 miles through the country to facilitate transportation and generate hydroelectric power.
With access as far as the port of Kiev, most Dnieper River cruises will begin their journey in this capital city of Ukraine. Founded 1,500 years ago, the city boasts two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Kiev Monastery Caves and the Saint Sophia Cathedral. Other ports of call may include Zaporozhye, Kherson, Sevastopol, Yalta, and Odessa.
Ukraine is an enchanting country with a captivating history of ancient Greek settlements, Cossack society, centuries of Roman rule and finally a separation from that rule into an emerging democracy.
