Papers Please: Visiting St. Petersburg With A Visa
The first thing you need to know about visiting St. Petersburg, Russia, is that you will need a visa. That’s right, the tedious and time-consuming paperwork for obtaining a visa must be completed — but not necessarily by you. That’s because Russian visas come with several caveats.

That ground operator has obtained a “blanket” visa to cover all passengers on the ship.
