    Interesting museum with lots of exhibits
    Good museum giving a history of boats/shipping/sea faring in Poland. Lots of exhibits - most details are in Polish, however there are laminated cards at start of each area that can be read for explanation. There are a few interactive exhibits. Ticket entry can include exploring the moored cargo ship along side the museum dock. Worth a visit to fill 1-2 hours on a grey day

    Soldek is worth a hour
    Just an hr's visit to the Soldek but well worth it. Perhaps an ugly duckling but with a Swan's backstory. Great to wander about all areas and learn more about the vessel, its build and crew. Fantastic viewpoint and location on the edge of the main city centre.

    Great option for young kids
    Visited the Seldek ship and underwater technique exhibition with a 3yo kid and it was a great adventure. One of the best options how to spent time in Gdansk with young kids sbg learn about ships. Recommend for young visitors.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Not worth the trip if you don't speak Polish
Jan 2023 • Couples
One of the few museums in Gdansk that exclusively uses Polish language. Wouldn't be an issue if there was a guide in English but you get a 2 page sheet instead which describes very little. Completely disappointing.

Canoes!
Nov 2022
It was such a surprise! Please go! Where else could you find canoes from all over the world? From the venitian romantic boat to the simple canoe made from a single tree, - enjoy this museum!

Poor English information signs
Dec 2022 • Couples
Lovely location for the museum - unusual to be on 2 sides of the water. Disappointed ship museum was closed. Woman selling tickets wasn't particularly helpful. Very good museum but information signs in cabinets were all in Polish - very disappointing as it looked interesting. New part of the museum was in english but limited sections open.

loved the paintings
Sep 2020
The area the museum is in is great for strolling around. The museum itself had only a few guests. Especially enjoyed the ship related paintings and climbing over the ship outside the museum. The canal looks nice with old buildings on one side and modern on the other. Moving pedestrian bridges were cool.

An interesting place, also for children
Aug 2020
An interesting place, a lot of exhibits well displayed. Interesting for children. "Sołdek" is an absolute must-see.
Inexpensive tickets. Best option is to buy combined tickets for all branches.

No English Displays or Signs - Avoid this place.
Aug 2020 • Couples
I visited here in 2017 and I can see from recent comments that they still haven't displayed signs or information about the collections in English, all information was and still is in Polish. This is very frustrating to international visitors and shows a level of customer service that is shockingly inept. Unless you are fluent in Polish I would strongly advise you to give this place a miss.
