Cruise II by Kuznyahouse.

Cruise II by Kuznyahouse opens a new season in Moscow on April 30, offering guests unforgettable boat journeys around the capital. The project, which came to Moscow from St. Petersburg last year, returns with an improved program and even more beautiful views of the city from the open deck.

On board Cruise II, expect evenings with live concerts, dance programs, and cruises for every taste — from Sunday brunches to romantic evenings. The sea-themed menu offers dishes with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients and popular culinary combinations, such as crispy duck-and-mushroom croquettes, burrata with strawberry, scallops with green pea purée, flounder with morels, and a crab burger with ginger pickles. Alongside the new arrivals, favorites from last season stay on the menu too, such as tartare with pecorino and a green salad with a nut dressing.

The cocktail list, created by Pyotr Baryshnikov, has up to twenty drinks inspired by the theme of cruise travel. Guests are offered cocktails with jackfruit, Sicilian oranges, and other exotic ingredients. Among the newcomers: the Pesto Sour with grappa and basil, the Yuzu Matcha Collins with gin and matcha, and the Bermuda Royal Yacht Club with agricole rum.

The wine list was put together by Yulia Tskhakaya and includes crémants, cava, and Rieslings, as well as a new wine, Cruise II x Real Authentic Wine — an Aligoté. The wine list supports the cruise concept, drawing parallels with the views of the city and the stops along the route.

The music program will keep delighting guests. Last season, more than 200 artists performed on board, and this year's number promises to be no smaller. Planned events include night cruises, parties on the upper deck, and collaborations with Moscow's cultural and culinary projects. This season also launches a new music format, Club Mirage, for fans of a more relaxed evening. The Grand Piano Bar program continues too, with jazz musicians and pianists performing every night.

The cruise schedule can be found on the project's website, where tickets can also be purchased. The liner departs from the "Frunzensky" pier and makes up to five trips a day. Booking a table in advance is recommended for a comfortable seating arrangement.
