Everything here lives by the ships’ timetable
A ship comes in — two hundred people on the shore and four hours. It does not come — silence. So the site is built not as a catalogue but as a feed of days: pick a day and a window of call, and you will see only what there is genuinely time for.

The week ahead
Six calls and two quiet days. Tap a ship and the marketplace will fit itself to its window.
30 July 2026 — a quiet day
No ships. This happens about two days a week — it is the port’s normal rhythm, not a failure of the timetable.
3 August 2026 — a quiet day
No ships. This happens about two days a week — it is the port’s normal rhythm, not a failure of the timetable.
The timetable for this week is a demonstration. Confirmed events of the season: the navigation opens on 28 April with the Konstantin Korotkov, 63 calls are planned for 2026, and eight sailings depart from the port itself starting 22 September.
What you will have time for
The marketplace reassembles itself around the window you choose. Anything longer than the call stays visible — but marked: you will not be back before departure.

The offers and prices here are invented for the mock-up. In the working version suppliers enter them themselves through «Your own business», stating the duration — and it is the duration that decides whether a card fits the window.
Delivery to the gangway
A mechanism only possible here: two hundred people end up in one place at a known minute. Which means anything at all can be brought to that minute.
1
You choose the window
The system knows when your ship leaves the quay.
2
You put together an order
Lunch from the restaurant on the shore, smoked fish, a faience mug from Konakovo, the charger you forgot.
3
A courier at the gangway
The order arrives at the quay half an hour before departure — you collect it on your way aboard, with no detour.
4
Local people earn
Cafés and workshops get a customer who would otherwise have walked straight past to the gangway.
WHY THE PORT NEEDS THIS
The quay as the way into the district
A cruise passenger spends three or four hours ashore and almost always spends them inside the resort — because there is no time to work out what else is around. The feed of days and the windows solve exactly that: it shows not «everything about the district» but «here is what fits into your four hours, and here is who sells it».
For local businesses this is the first channel where demand is known in advance to the minute: you can see how many people will come ashore next Saturday, and when.
The district feed
Not the port’s news but an explanation of the place: why the Volga starts earlier here, what is almost five hundred years old and what is not yet a hundred.
28 JULY 2026 · EXPLANATION
Why the Volga starts earlier here
A ship from Moscow goes along the canal and climbs from step to step: the water in the chambers is raised and let down again. Zavidovo already stands beyond those steps.
from open sources
Because of this the arithmetic of a voyage changes entirely. To go from here to Rybinsk and back is three days. The same circuit from the Northern River Terminal takes five: two whole days go on the canal, there and back.
The port understands this and builds its autumn programme around the short leg: from 22 September the Sankt-Peterburg takes up sailings that both begin and end here.
14 JULY 2026 · HISTORY
Who passed through Zavidovo
The village stood on the post road between Moscow and St Petersburg, with a travelling palace for the imperial family.
from open sources
The coachmen of Zavidovo served the highway travelled by Derzhavin, Karamzin, Radishchev, Krylov, Pushkin and Lermontov. A museum of its own tells the story: details of the travelling palace interiors, the coaching yard and everyday objects.
A cruise passenger repeats the same road — only by water and two centuries later.
24 JUNE 2026 · THE SEASON
How the port became a fixture rather than an experiment
In 2025 the port received 59 cruise ships; the plan for 2026 is 63 calls and more than ten thousand guests.
from open sources
The first ship, the Lev Tolstoy, arrived here on 24 September 2022 with about a hundred and seventy passengers. Regular calls are now made by four companies, and in 2026 a Doninturflot vessel comes for the first time.
Across the Tver region the number of calls grew by roughly fifteen per cent over the 2025 season.
20 JULY 2026 · HISTORY
The village is nearly five hundred years old, the sea is not yet a hundred
Novoye Zavidovo is mentioned in the chronicles from 1560. The Ivankovo reservoir appeared in 1937.
from open sources
The village belonged to Ivan the Terrible, then to Boris Godunov. The Church of the Dormition of the Mother of God was built at the turn of the 1610s and 1620s; the parish churches are first described in the land register of the Klin district for 1623–1624.
And the water the ships arrive on today is nearly four centuries younger: the «Moscow Sea» spread out during the building of the Moscow — Volga canal. The port stands on a very old shore and very new water.
6 JULY 2026 · THE PORT
What three berthing fronts means
The quay line is divided into three sections and designed for seven cruise ships at once.
from open sources
Besides receiving ships, the project provides winter storage for five cruise and ten excursion vessels. The terminal building has three storeys, stands 44 metres to the tip of the spire, covers more than 2,300 square metres and is designed for two thousand people a day.
10 JUNE 2026 · THE DISTRICT
A quiet day: what to do when there are no ships
About two days a week nobody comes to the quay. For the district this is not a pause but a different mode.
demo note
This note has been added to demonstrate the feed. In the working version the marketplace switches on quiet days to local residents and to those who came to the resort by road: different prices, different durations, a different set of offers.
Your own business
Whether you run a boat, bake, lead excursions or make souvenirs — enter an offer and state its duration. After that it will find its own way into the windows it physically fits.
Write the name
From 0.5 to 12
State the price
Format name@domain.ru
HOW IT WORKS
Duration matters more than category
An ordinary catalogue sorts by type and price. Here the first question is different: does the offer fit into the window between the gangway and departure? A two-hour excursion will fit almost every window, a three-hour banya only the long ones, five hours of golf only the days of a full call.
That is why the «how long it takes» field is required and photographs are not.
WHAT YOU GET
Demand known in advance
The ships’ timetable is published long before the season. Which means you see not «average footfall» but something exact: on Saturday at ten forty two hundred and forty people will come ashore, window four hours. You can plan a shift, a delivery and the number of boats around that.

Tickets for cruises from Zavidovo port
Departure straight from Volga water: there are no locks of the Moscow Canal on the way, so in three days a voyage reaches what takes five from the capital.
Choosing a sailing works in a browser
Searching by date, the filters, the deck plan and the price calculation need scripts. The whole season’s timetable and the district marketplace are available right here.
Tap a card and it will put its parameters into the search.
Why it is easier from here
Four simple reasons, without the river jargon.
An hour from Moscow on the Lastochka
From Leningradsky station to Zavidovo is about an hour and ten. From the station to the port, some ten minutes by car.
You do not wait in locks
A ship from Moscow goes along the canal and climbs from step to step on the way — the water in the chambers is raised and let down again. Every such step is time lost. Our port stands beyond them already, straight on the Volga.
Three days instead of five
To go to Rybinsk and back from here is three days. From Moscow the same circuit takes five: two days go on the canal alone, there and back.
The terminal right at the gangway
A building as tall as a fifteen-storey block stands on the quay itself, with parking on the square by the entrance. From the car to the ship is a couple of minutes on foot.

How the port grew into a full season
2020
Construction of the complex begins at the mouth of the Shosha.
2022
On 24 September the port receives its first ship — the Lev Tolstoy, about 170 passengers.
2024
Regular calls from Moscow; some fifteen ships over the season.
2025
59 cruise ships over the navigation. Across the Tver region the number of calls grew by 15%.
2026
63 calls planned; on 28 April the Konstantin Korotkov opened the season. From 22 September, the first sailings from the port itself.
How this port differs from the Moscow one
The Northern River Terminal stands on the Moscow Canal, and any voyage from there begins by passing through lock chambers. Zavidovo is beyond them already, on Volga water.

Where the data come from
The characteristics of the port and the building on this page are gathered from open publications: the industry outlet PortNews, announcements by the Tver regional government, news agency material and tourism trade press from 2022–2026. The sailing dates and prices in the tickets section are partly generated to demonstrate the interface — this is marked in the listing itself.

28 April 2026 · Navigation
The season is open: the Konstantin Korotkov came alongside first
The 2026 navigation at Zavidovo port began on 28 April.
from open sources
The first ship of the season was the Konstantin Korotkov of the VodohodЪ cruise line. The arrival of the first ship is traditionally marked at the quay with a welcome for the guests.
Across the season the port plans to receive 63 calls and more than 10 thousand cruise passengers.
27 April 2026 · Fleet
In the 2026 navigation the port will receive 55 ships from Moscow
The season’s timetable was put together by four regular cruise lines and one new operator.
from open sources
Regular calls are made by VodohodЪ, Moscow River Shipping, Sozvezdiye and Sputnik-Germes. A ship of the Doninturflot line comes to Zavidovo for the first time.
A ship’s call at the quay lasts from three or four hours to a full day. More than half of the shore programmes take place within the resort, the rest are excursions around the district. The receiving agent ashore is the tour operator Go Travel.
18 March 2026 · Navigation
In the autumn there will be sailings that begin in Zavidovo itself
From 22 September the Sankt-Peterburg takes up a programme departing from and returning to the port.
from open sources
The first sailing is Zavidovo — Rybinsk — Zavidovo, three days. Eight departures in all are planned between late September and late October, of three to five days each.
A coach transfer from Moscow is arranged for these sailings. The main advantage of the arrangement is that the ship does not pass the locks of the Moscow Canal: the route begins on Volga water at once, and in three days a voyage reaches what takes five from the capital.
6 November 2025 · Results
The 2025 navigation in figures: 59 cruise ships
Over the 2025 season the port received 59 cruise ships.
from open sources
That was a record for the port since it opened. Across the Tver region the total number of calls for the season passed five hundred and grew by about 15% on the previous year.
The growth is put down both to the increase in cruise programmes on the Upper Volga and to the port gradually becoming a fixture in several lines’ timetables rather than a one-off experiment.
20 June 2025 · Infrastructure
The next stage is a railway spur to the port
A dedicated spur 15.6 km long is planned to the complex from the October Railway.
from open sources
The idea of the port assumed a transport interchange from the very beginning: water, road and railway at one point.
The road part works — an access road leads to the berthing structure, and a square with car parks has been laid out in front of the terminal building. The railway spur remains the next stage.
24 September 2022 · Fleet
The port received its first ship
On 24 September 2022 the cruise ship Lev Tolstoy came alongside the quay for the first time.
from open sources
There were about 170 passengers aboard. The complex had been under construction since 2020 at the mouth of the river Shosha where it enters the Volga, as part of the Volzhskoye More tourism cluster; installation works at the port were estimated at about 1.25 billion roubles.
The quay line is divided into three fronts and designed to receive up to seven cruise ships at once, as well as for winter storage of the fleet.
Enquiries
Help and frequent questions
Tickets, boarding, luggage, refunds, children and animals, accessibility. If the answer is not here, write to us and we will look into it by hand.
TicketsChoose a sailing in the «Tickets» section: the search offers options by date and number of passengers, then you pick a cabin on the deck plan, enter the passengers’ details and pay. The itinerary receipt arrives by e-mail.
TicketsOn the main deck there are standard cabins with portholes, below the waterline. On the middle deck the cabins have windows and open onto the promenade; they cost about a third more. On the boat deck there are suites with panoramic windows and a balcony, about twice the price of a standard.
TicketsThe cabins are doubles. A single passenger can buy a whole cabin — in that case a supplement of about half the price of the second berth is added. The system calculates this automatically as you choose.
RefundsThe refund conditions are set by the cruise line rather than the port, and they differ by fare: the nearer the departure date, the more is withheld. The exact percentages are given in the rules of the particular sailing at the time of booking.
RefundsAn exchange is possible if there are free cabins of the same class on the date chosen. The difference in price is either paid or refunded. The request goes through the cruise line that issued the sailing.
BoardingBoarding starts an hour before departure, by the terminal building. The quay area operates under transport security rules, so access to the ships is open only to passengers of the sailing and to staff.
BoardingA Russian passport for an adult passenger, a birth certificate for a child. The details of the document must match those given when the ticket was booked.
BoardingThe ship leaves on schedule and does not wait. You can only catch it up at the next port of call and at your own expense — tell the cruise line as early as you can.
LuggageOn river cruises the limits are gentler than in aviation: usually a suitcase and hand luggage per person, without strict weighing. Bulky items — a bicycle, a board, a pushchair — are agreed with the cruise line in advance.
LuggageIn this mock-up left luggage is shown as a terminal service at 300 ₽ per item a day, but these are demonstration data. Check with the port whether the service exists.
Children and animalsThe age limit is set by the cruise line; on most Volga sailings children are taken at any age, but for those under three a separate fare without a berth often applies.
Children and animalsThe rules for carrying animals are set by the cruise line and differ from sailing to sailing: some allow small pets in carriers, some do not. Check before buying a ticket.
AccessibilityAssistance from the square to the gangway is described in this mock-up as a service on request a day ahead. These are demonstration data: check the real arrangements with the port and the cruise line, as boarding also depends on the design of the particular ship.
The portKonakovo district of the Tver region, the mouth of the river Shosha where it enters the Volga, the waters of the Ivankovo reservoir, within the Zavidovo special economic zone. The building stands on the berthing structure, with a square and car parks in front of it.
The portThe nearest railway point is Zavidovo station on the October Railway, and a transfer is needed from there. For sailings that start at the port itself there is a coach from Moscow. A dedicated spur 15.6 km long straight to the port has been announced as the next stage of the interchange.
The portThe port stands above the lock chambers of the Moscow Canal. A ship from the capital spends hours passing the locks, whereas here it goes straight onto the Volga — which is why in three days a sailing from Zavidovo reaches Rybinsk and Tutayev, while the same circuit from Moscow takes five days.
For businessesThrough the form in the «Contacts» section: give the ship or the line, the date of the call, the intended time at the quay and what the group needs ashore. The port receives up to seven cruise ships at once on three berthing fronts.
For businessesIn practice calls last from three or four hours to a full day. The length is set by the cruise line when it builds the programme.

The links lead to the places’ own websites. The port does not sell accommodation and takes no payment for it — booking happens on the hotel’s or the club’s side.
Konakovo district · the Upper Volga
The district’s history
The port appeared in the 2020s, but the place it stands in has lived since the 16th century: a coaching village on the road between the two capitals, 17th-century churches and a man-made sea not yet a hundred years old.

A passenger port at the mouth of the river Shosha where it enters the Volga. Three berthing fronts, a terminal building 44 metres tall including the spire. The youngest point on this diagram — and the only one the ships come for.
