Things to do in Murmansk
Discover the city behind your Arctic adventure: its maritime history, hilltop views and places that tell the story of life in the north.
Places to explore
Lenin nuclear icebreaker
Visit the historic icebreaker at the maritime terminal. An onboard visit depends on the vessel’s opening schedule and admission arrangements. The onboard museum tour is conducted in Russian; ask us about language support.
Explore the city tour →Alyosha memorial
The large memorial to the defenders of the Soviet Arctic stands above the city. This is a place to take in the scale of Murmansk and the landscape around Kola Bay.
The Waiting Woman memorial
Known locally as Zhdushchaya, this monument honours those waiting for sailors to return. It connects the city’s waterfront views with its seafaring identity.
Memorial to sailors lost in peacetime
The lighthouse memorial complex and the conning tower of the Kursk submarine commemorate lives lost at sea. Allow time for a quiet, respectful visit.
City centre
Walk around the central streets and Five Corners area, then stop for a warm drink. Distances between hilltop landmarks are easier to cover as part of a city drive.
Arctic food
Leave time for dinner after sightseeing. Local restaurant menus often feature northern fish, seafood, venison and berries alongside other options.

The four-day Arctic programme includes a Murmansk city tour with the Lenin icebreaker visit. The three-day programme leaves out the city excursion. You can also request a separate city day.
Opening times and admission arrangements can change. We confirm the planned stops and museum access for your date; outdoor conditions can also affect the route.
