Скачать или смотреть New Paddlewheel River Cruise Ships in Moscow | Shipspotting

Hello to everyone who likes watching river traffic and modern cruise ships in action! 🚢👀
In this video you can see a shipspotting compilation of new Russian river cruise ships from the PKS 180 project, filmed during real cruise operations in Moscow.

The vessels featured in the video are modern river cruise ships equipped with stern paddle propulsion and steering complexes. These unusual stern-mounted paddle propulsion units combine propulsion and steering in one system, giving the ships a distinctive layout compared with conventional propeller-driven inland cruise vessels.

All ships shown in the compilation were built in Russia in 2023 and 2024 and belong to the newest generation of river cruise ships operating on Russian inland waterways.

The footage shows the vessels underway on the Khimki Reservoir in Moscow during the 2025 navigation season, sailing with tourists on board during active river cruises. Viewers can watch the ships cruising across the reservoir, observe their superstructure design, hull lines, and see how the stern paddle propulsion systems operate while the vessels are moving through the water.

The video also includes arrival scenes at the piers of the Moscow Northern River Terminal, one of the main passenger cruise ports in Moscow. Several sequences show the ships approaching the passenger berths and performing docking maneuvers, which makes it possible to observe the handling characteristics of these new cruise vessels during port arrivals.

This compilation includes:
• New PKS 180 project river cruise ships
• Ships built in Russia in 2023 and 2024
• Stern paddle propulsion and steering complexes in operation
• River cruise traffic on the Khimki Reservoir in Moscow
• Tourists on board during the 2025 navigation season
• Arrival and docking maneuvers at the Moscow Northern River Terminal

This type of footage is especially interesting for viewers who follow river shipspotting, inland passenger vessels, river cruise ship operations, and modern river ship design. The video shows how the new PKS 180 river cruise ships operate during real cruise traffic in Moscow, both underway on the reservoir and while arriving at the passenger piers of the Moscow Northern River Terminal.

If you enjoy river cruise ships, inland waterway traffic, and shipspotting videos, this compilation shows some of the newest Russian river cruise vessels currently sailing with passengers on board.
