Since 1999, a subsidiary of the Volga Shipping Company, the river tourism company Volga-Flot-Tour, has been established. This date is considered the year of foundation of the cruise company. In 2011, there was a consolidation of companies into private limited company Vodohod, which were in the shipping passenger division of the international transport holding UCL Holdingrude — Volgo-Balt Transport Holding (VBTH): "Volga-Flot-Tour", private limited company Vodohod-Moscow (a full-cycle shipping and travel company) and private limited company Vodohod-
St. Petersburg (a cruise shipping company and travel agent for sea and river cruises). In 2017, the company withdrew from the UCLH holding. "Vodohod-Saint-Petersburg" was established in 2004 on the basis of the
St. Petersburg branch of Volga-Fleet-Tour PLC and operated in the North-West of Russia. In 2006, the company "Vodohod-
Saint-Petersburg" transported about 400 thousand passengers by the high-speed fleet to the historical suburbs of
St. Petersburg. == Indicators ==
