Dear friends,

If you are planning your next event or journey, we invite you to experience with us the wealth of incentive opportunities now waiting to be discovered in Russia. If you haven't been here before, it's time to mark a new destination on your map of incentive trips.

St. Petersburg and Moscow are the real centres of the incentive industry in Russia, possessing a wealth of museums and palaces as well as some absolutely unique venues for special events.

We invite you to come with us and enjoy the Kremlin, Red Square, the country estate at Kolomenskoye, the Tretiakov Gallery, the Hermitage Museum, and the imperial palaces and parks outside St. Petersburg at Peterhof, Tsarskoye Selo, and Pavlovsk. We can open museums for you when they are closed to the public, allowing you to engage with the city's artistic masterpieces on a one-to-one basis.

During excursions our guests will encounter surprises, theatralized scenes, and jokes.

Moscow, the capital and the real heart of Russia, is one of the country's oldest cities. Here you cannot fail to be enchanted by the myriad golden domes of some of the oldest churches in Europe - a demonstration of the city's amazing ability to assimilate any architectural style.

St. Petersburg, the former capital of the Russian Empire, is the principal travel destination in Russia. Founded in 1703 by Peter the Great at the mouth of the Neva River, this is a city like no other. Its gilded spires and domes, lovely embankments, arched bridges over 68 rivers and canals, and pastel-coloured palaces enchant all who see them.

As our guest, you will be embraced by traditional Russian hospitality and tender care from the moment you set foot in Russia. As part of our welcome, you will be invited to dinners in extraordinary venues, including at some of the city's best restaurants and royal palaces.

We are able to offer ideal venues for business meetings, conferences, and seminars.

You will have a chance to experience Russian and European cuisine at some of the city's best restaurants, including at the Grand Hotel Europe, Staraya Tamozhnaya, and the Marble Hall of the Ethnography Museum.

While in Russia you will not only enjoy the arts and Russian cuisine, but also have an opportunity to realize your own creative abilities and talents. In his or her soul each person is an artist with a hidden creative potential inside. Guided by professional artists, sculptors, and dancers, you will have the chance to create your own masterpieces.

In the evenings we shall invite you to the circus and to the world-famous Russian ballet at the Bolshoy in Moscow and the Mariinsky (formerly the Kirov) in St. Petersburg. You will also have a unique opportunity to hear maestros such as Mstislav Rostropovich, Valeriy Gergiev, and Yevgeny Kolobov play at St. Petersburg's Large Philharmonic Hall.

We can arrange exclusive performances at the Hermitage Theatre and the Yusupov Palace.

Our gala events will prove a fitting culmination to your visit to Russia. Feel like a member of royalty as you dine at palaces once inhabited by Russian tsars and noblemen. We are adept at dreaming up extraordinary party themes and special shows to make your gala event an absolutely unforgettable occasion.

Let Cosmos plan your next travel experience and we will provide you with a level of service that meets and exceeds your expectations. Our devoted and highly professional staff can make your dreams come true.

Welcome to Russia with Cosmos!
