I couldn't find anything like that when I was there, unfortunately. The ferries only seem to service the local area. But in summer there are cruises between most of the major Volga cities. There's some info about that on this page under "River Port":

This year it was possible to book ticket between any two places on route,
I could not found if it is possible now, but I hope that it is.
