Introduction

The Lenin Nuclear Icebreaker is the world's first nuclear-powered icebreaker. It was in service from 1959 to 1989 and is now retired and docked at the Murmansk port, providing tours for tourists. It has been transformed into a museum, showcasing its history and technological features in Arctic exploration. It is a rare experience for visitors interested in history and marine science. Actual visits can be obtained with free Russian-speaking guides. It should be noted that its opening hours are not regular, with Mondays and Tuesdays being rest days. From Wednesday to Friday, there is only one tour available at 12 PM, and visitors need to arrange their itinerary in advance.
