Yes, the situation has greatly changed since 2001 🙂
Today you can get into Saint Petersburg in many ways by ferry:
Update: I strongly recommend minimizing travel time on Russian ships, mainly because of their service level. Ferries are old German ships, and servicemen are not as positive as on Finnish lines.
Please do not think this relates to Saint Petersburg where service has highly improved in the last 10 years.
Update 2: Added information about another ferry from Germany via Latvia by Finnlines.
