This might help u. I am also planning to head up to St Petersburg this coming May.
Here's what I found - searching thru Tripadvisor.com

http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g298507-i707-k1584092-Cruise_ship_arrival_Do_I_need_a_Visa-St_Petersburg_North_West_Russia.html

We managed to contact a local tour guide (not affiliated Cruise tour) who said the same thing. Looks like we are looking to join the tour group to avoid delay and confusion (visa issue)

Hope this help.
