WHEN A VISIT IS NOT REQUIRED - VISITS BY CRUISE SHIP TO ST PETERSBURG

Source: http://www.saint-petersburg.com/russian-visa/for-cruise-ship-passengers/

Cruise ship passengers visiting St. Petersburg - of which there are now almost half a million every year - do not need a Russian visa provided they are staying in the city for no longer than 72 hours. Therefore, if you book a cruise and St. Petersburg is one of the calls, you DO NOT NEED to get a Russian visa before you depart. However, travelling without a Russian visa does impose strict limitations on your time in St. Petersburg, so it's certainly worth considering the option of getting a Russian Travel Visa before you start your cruise.
