Special Packages

If your dream is to go ice-fishing on the Finnish Gulf, dine on the battleship Aurora, dance with gypsies or enjoy a private ballet performance from the favored seat of Catherine the Great, the Grand Hotel Europe can make the dream a reality.

Our dedicated and experienced Group Coordination Team is ready to help you organise colourful and exciting Incentive Programmes and Special Events, taking advantage of the rich cultural and historical wealth of St. Petersburg and its surroundings to provide enthralling experiences in magnificent settings. Kempinski’s guests at the Grand Hotel Europe can be waited on by the courtiers of the Czar, be entertained by Cossacks and traditional Balalaika bands, or even dine with Lenin and his comrades in an imaginative journey to the days of the Revolution. Private theatres, including the Hermitage Theatre, can be hired for exclusive ballet performances.

During the famous "White Nights" in summer the sun hardly ever sets.Numerous palaces offer ideal settings for elegant summer garden parties, accompanied by champagne, cocktails, live music, barbecues, buffets, and delicious desserts. In the summer, tranquil boat trips on the Neva and its myriad canals are also very popular, as are picnic excursions to Lake Ladoga, quiet barbecue evenings by wooded lakes, and even lively beach parties along the Gulf of Finland.

In the winter St. Petersburg truly comes into its own, as its fairytale palaces glimmer and gleam with fresh snow and the iridescent beauty creates endless, romantic evenings. Winter incentive programmes can start with a visit to the country cottage of the Empress Alexandra, where you will enjoy a champagne concert in one of the cottage’s elegant, evocative salons. As evening approaches enjoy a troika ride through the crisp winter air, anticipating vodka, blinis, and caviar ahead.

For the more intrepid, we can arrange an unforgettable ice fishing expedition on the Gulf of Finland.. An evening can be spent in a quiet country Datcha nestled deep in the forest, warmed by a wood stove and by traditional Russian food as you are entertained with folk songs and dances.
