Hello, my friends and I are traveling to Russia for the first time in May! We would like to take a boat from Seattle to Russia and ride the train across sibera, however we are having alot of trouble finding information on getting the boat tickets. If anyone knows the best way to to this please let me know! Thanks so much!

That's a long way. I doubt you'll easily find a scheduled service between Seattle and anywhere in the Russian Far East. Are there even freighters going back and forth? I suppose, but I'd imagine that Japan/Russia is much more realistic from a freight perspective.

Even if you do find a Seattle/Russian Far East route, that's a LONG time on a boat that will likely have zero accomodations that you'd enjoy for more than a few minutes. I took the Alaskan Marine Ferry from near Anchorage to Bellingham a few years ago and it was five days of drudgery (ah, somewhat like that six days I spent on the transsib...!).

You can take the ferry from Fushiki to Vladivostok (or the other way) - visit http://www.bisintour.com/ for more info.

Also, a great place to visit in the Man in Seat 61 - http://www.seat61.com/Trans-Siberian.htm

Very Happy
