Where does the MSCO Polaris actually go, and how do I travel with it?
The Murmansk shipping company operates two passenger ships. The Klavdiya Elanskaya travels between Murmansk and Ostrovnoy. Considering that Ostrovnoy is a closed city, this is probably not an accessible tourist destination (although it also appears to serve Chapoma and Arkhangelsk). Considerably more spectacular appears the route of the Polaris, which supposedly serves Murmansk, the Solovetsky islands, Franz-Josef Land, Spitsbergen, Greenland and Iceland. This sounds rather unlikely and I really wonder if it's true.

What is the nature of the MSCO Polaris? Is this a passenger ship that ordinary travellers can book travel with? Is it a regular ship with a timetable? Some kind of cruise-ship? Or is this map just a proud display of "look where we've been"?
Best Answer
While this may be out of date but there is bad news:
Polaris is moving to Sakhalin, so whatever routes it used to run are no longer being serviced by MSCO
