Yes he does.
Everybody does, EXCEPT when the passengers go on the shore excursions, in that case, Princess takes care of it.
I think only Serbians do not need a visa for Russia.
I stoped there often with ships and we didn’t need one, if we had a Seaman’s book, which is sort of an ID for crew members. Even the crewmembers who did not have one could not leave the ship.
For the excursions it’s ok, you don’t need one.
enjoy.

I plan to take the 10 days cruise to: Stockholm, Helsinki, Saint Petersburg, Tallinn, Gdansk (Gdynia), Oslo. Can I go to these places on a self guided tours without joining the tours from the cruise line as they are so expensive. How far are these ports to those places, can I walk, take public transit, or taxi? Any tips?
