An overview of the river routes I was able to find:

European Russia
Pechora river
On the Pechora river, the company RTK Komi has:
- Усть-Цильма (Ust-Tsilma) – Уег – Верхнее Бугаево – Окунёв Нос – Крестовка – Медвежка – Новый Бор – Ермица, see timetable
- Чаркабож – Кипиево – Чика – Няшабож – Пиль-Егор – Щельяюр, see timetable

- Печора (Pechora) with Озерный (see timetable), which is just a 10-minute car ferry.
Openstreetmap also claims a car ferry to from Щельяюр to Нарьян Мар, but I can find no evidence this still exists and it appears there are roads there now, so this might have been withdrawn.
Siberia
Yenisey river
On the Yenisey river, the company PassazhirRechTrans has:
- Красноярск (Krasnoyarsk) – Енисейск / Yeniseysk – Ярцево / Yartsevo – Ворогово / Vogorovo – Бор / Bor – Бахта – Чулково – В.Имбатское – Сургутиха – Верещагино – Бакланиха – Костино – Туруханск /Turukhansk – Горошиха – Курейка – Игарка (Igarka) – Потапово – Дудинка (Dudinka), distance 1992 km, travel time downstream 3 days 14 hours, upstream 5 days 8 hours. Runs around 20 times per year between July and October. See PRT timetable. Note that Dudinka is a closed city. I don’t know the limitations of travelling all the way there, but see this question.

- A line connecting "Торг.центр – Реч.вокзал – Караульная – Известковый – О.Овсянский – Телефонистов – Боровое – Усть-Мана", appears to be a commuter line, not sure, thrice daily April to October, see PRT timetable.
- Many short car ferries
Lena River
On the Lena River, the company Lenaturflot has:
- Якутск / Yakutsk — Тикси / Tiksi (which may well be the northernmost place one can reach with regular public transport without flying)
Map boat Yakutsk – Tiksi. Source: Lenaturflot. - Усть — Кут (Ust-Kut) – Пеледуй (Peleduy), 765 km, see timetable).
- Пеледуй – Ленск, 211 km, see timetable

In Western Siberia on the Ob River, Severflot and other rivers operates 36 lines, including:
- Along the Irtysh and Ob rivers between Омск (Omsk) to Салехард (Salekhard), 2783 km, see timetable

and Vakh rivers.
As far as I know there is no such super-site that covers all river routes, since there is no monopoly in river transportation in Russia (unlike train transportation like RZD.ru where you can find and book almost everything related to trains).
If you are looking for regular passenger ships then you should search on sites that belong to local river transportation companies. Usually those companies are situated in major cities on the route.
How to find those sites? Take start point and end point on the route and google it. There is however an inconvenience that you must use a translator, because many of these sites are simple static HTML’s in Russian.
For example, for the route Krasnoyarsk-Dudinka, here is the site of the transportation company prt24
