Polar Odyssey

The maritime museum exhibits numerous wooden sailing vessels, navigation equipment, and historical artifacts related to Russian seafaring traditions at Lake Onega.

Founded in 1978 by engineer Viktor Dmitriyev, this museum emerged from the first private shipyard in the Soviet Union and constructed over 40 vessels.

The museum preserves traditional Russian wooden shipbuilding techniques through educational programs and displays replicas of 17th-19th century sailing vessels.

Located at Rigachina Street 37B, the museum operates daily from 9:00 to 18:00 between May and September, and 10:00 to 17:00 from September to May.

Visitors can participate in sailing excursions on Lake Onega aboard replicated historical vessels, including traditional Pomor boats and Viking dragon ships.
