Dan,
I don't have any idea about cruises, but I'd suggest that you should allow
at the very least 3-4 days in St.-P.
(You won't be bored if you can spend more, say, 1-2 weeks. It's like in Paris.)
Plan at least a day in Petergof (Peterhof), the summer residence of tzars.
Plan to visit Hermitage (closed on Monday, I believe). You may enjoy a
special (separate) part of it: the gold (and diamond) room. I don't know
how hard it would be to get in there ( there used to be a long lines in the
morning, at the opening to buy a ticket for it).
.... the list is long...
In any case, I'd recommend summer, as it can get nasty in the fall and
winter. Also, Petergof is only fully open in summer, when you can get
there from the city by a fast boat, which is a nice trip by itself, if
weather cooperates.

We are thinking of a Baltic cruise to St Petersburg. Has anyone on
the list taken such a journey? Any recommendations?
Years back, we took a ferry from Copenhagen to Oslo, and the crossing
weas very rough. How rough are the seas likely to be on a cruise ship
in the Baltic? What is the best time of year to do something like
that?
