ORP B艂yskawica - information and tickets
- The ship can be visited independently (without reservation) or with a guide (after prior arrangement: rezerwacja@muzeummw.pl, guided tour lasts about 45 min).
- Tickets can be purchased directly at the booth next to the ship or at the main building of the Naval Museum (you can buy a combined "museum + ship" ticket - it will be cheaper than two separate ones). Discounts with KDR cards.
- NOTE! The ship is closed for visitors in the autumn-winter season (open from May to November).
- Due to narrow passages, numerous stairs and ladders, we will not enter the deck with a stroller. However, it is possible to visit the ship with a baby in a sling (with a larger carrier on the back, there may be a problem...). Preschoolers on ORP B艂yskawica should have no problem with the visit, and they will probably treat some inconveniences or more difficult places as an "obstacle course" or a challenge, overcoming which will bring a lot of satisfaction and joy!
While you're there, it's worth also visiting the neighboring museum ship Dar Pomorza and the nearby main building of the Naval Museum (ORP B艂yskawica is its branch):
