Client outcomes
A “thank you” to all staff for a wonderful year, and to show an appreciation to their families and partners by having their annual Christmas party somewhere overseas that has an incredible “wow” factor.
The solution
A three-day event:
- Arrival in St Petersburg with dinner in the rustic Restoran restaurant.
- Guided tour of St Petersburg in the morning to include the Hermitage Museum, Nevsky Prospekt and St Isaac’s Cathedral, free time in the afternoon with a private tour and then gala dinner at the Yusupov Palace in the evening.
- Tour of Catherine’s Palace in the morning followed by a Troika sleigh ride and a farewell Russian lunch at a traditional restaurant with Cossack theming.
The creative idea
To Russia with Love – a trip to St Petersburg for staff to experience Russia in winter with style and the opportunity to see this beautiful city at a relaxed pace
The pinnacle of the trip was the private tour of the Yusupov Palace that once belonged to the powerful Yusupov family and where Rasputin was murdered, followed by a gala dinner in the famous Mirrored Hall. This was an amazing personal experience and this wonderful treat ensured that it was an evening to be remembered for all.
