Wonderful Destroyer with an interesting story behind it. It was commissioned in 1935 to be built in the UK and entered service before WW2 based in Gdynia. It managed to flee with other Polish ships to the UK in 1939 before the Germans invaded Poland and then acieved distinguished service alongside the British Navy particularly in the Norwegian area. It returned to be based Poland in 1947. The ship is so complete you feel it could almost set sail tomorrow. You start your tour in the Museum section of the ship which gives you it's history before going into the bowels of the Destroyer and seeing the Engine Room/Boiler Room etc. Finally finish with exploring the deck. Thoroughly recommend, easily spend an hour here.

Incredibly interesting museum. It was fascinating to go below deck to see the engine room and feel the history of this magnificent ship.

Lovely to see in flesh, good price, although it needs more descriptions and open up some more areas of the ship. Otherwise you are done within 30 minutes. Still worth it.

Very interesting to visit destroyer but regret bridge is closed. It is however amazing to climb around, read about her history. Visit to Engine room is quite impressive, especially for the people who was not on the ship before. It is great to bring kids to share pages of history.

It's a huge ship and it's the largest warrior ship in poland.

to be in Gdynia, which was voted the best place to live in Poland, and not to visit a great destroyer ship ORP Błyskawica would be insane,wonderful experience to have an ability to look inside and see for yourself how skilled one has to be to manage such a ship during war time and be able to destroy as many german and ruski ships as possible.

Great "Polish" naval history in one ship, what a pedigree ! This ship also protected the "Isle of Wight" in UK during WW2 and remained in service until 2012 when it was made a permanent exhibit in Gdynia.

Interesting exhibition, though most of it is only in Polish.

History & Souls of fallen Soldiers. WWII

Pretty cool ship to visit!

(Translated by Google) I was in Gdynia to see a Polish Navy ship. I saw many things like rifles, machine gun and clothes. It is still used as a museum ship to this day. Holiday memories I recommend (Original) Byłem w Gdyni zobaczyć okręt polskiej marynarki wojennej. Widziałem wiele rzeczy np. Karabiny, maszynowa i ubrania. Do dziś jest jako okręt-muzeum. Wspomnienia z wakacji Polecam

(Translated by Google) Worth a visit. The best vantage point from which you can observe the units entering and leaving the port. Overall great entertainment for children who love the nearby ships. The stena line is probably the most impressive, although the ships standing in the naval port will be of interest not only to children. (Original) Warto odwiedzić. Najlepiej punkt widokowy z którego można obserwować wpływające i wypływające z portu jednostki. Generalnie świetna rozrywka dla dzieci, które zachwycają się blisko przepływającymi statkami. Chyba największe wrażenie robi stena line, chociaż statki stojące w porcie wojennym zainteresują nie tylko dzieci.

(Translated by Google) The seaport is a huge complex. The most accessible part is at Kościuszki Square. The port is well connected, it is a pity that mainly from the center of Gdynia. Organization in the facility also very good. (Original) Port morski jest ogromnym kompleksem. Najbardziej dostępna jest część przy Skwerze Kościuszki. Port jest dobrze skomunikowany, tylko szkoda że głównie z centrum Gdyni. Organizacja w obiekcie rowniez bardzo dobra.

Who loves the warships will enjoy it. You can leave your luggage in a small storage room right after you board the ship, though the guard was not checking which luggage is owned by whom.

Very well preserved and maintained battle ship with all its weapons. A wonderful place to see different kind of cruse ships and pirate ships with all different kind of design on them.

Ok, sure, a destroyer. Interesting without a doubt. Almost all the panels are bilingual (PL+EN). But you won't enter the mess room, accomodation quarters, nor the bridge or captain's berth. Nothing that would give you the glimpse into the daily life of a seamen. And that is a loss of 2 stars for me. If I can compare with the royal yacht Brittania in Edinburgh, which is not a warship, I'm even more sure it's only 3*

A beautiful ship from an era of WW2. Perfect place to click some amazing photos.

I was looking forward to the visit, but was disappointed. I was expecting to see ORP Blyskawica how it looked inside and how it worked. Instead the interior has been remade to look like a marine museum with model ships inside. The only part accessible and interesting was the machine room. Unfortunetly alot children were afraid there for some reason. The bridge was also unavailable.

great place

Very eye opening experience of seeing what it's like in a destroyer, especially the engine and the power room. Also very fascinated by the weapons they have on board.

Interesting battleship. Didn't visit museum

Interesting old polish warship with the naval museu. inside

Very cold -6c ❄ but well worth the visit 😊

Never seen such a big boat from inside and here you have the opportunity. Great experience.

Amazing!

Enjoyed a short day trip here before continuing our journey by Stena Line from Gdynia Port, a fun and refreshing experience by the sea.

Different kind of ship museum which is just not about historical artifacts. Museum has artifacts which talks about historical significance of ship but what makes it special is they allow us to go down inside and see the engine and all other nuances of war ship. Atleast I never had such opportunity before. It's definitely worth visiting. It would take around 20-30 mins to see everything.

Worth visiting this Historical ship which was used in WWII and currently displayed as a Naval Museum

Beautiful pic of polish history I wish they open more rooms on this ship so we can enjoy more

most of the ship is closed, but a second world war museum ship is unique, worth to see. Pretty museum with battleship models inside

Fantastic Museum of Polish Navy History. ORP "Błyskawica" call by many as LUCKY Destroyer survived WWII.

We enjoyed the stay. We were there at the opening time. It was interesting inside. More technical rooms than the space for soldiers. You had the feel how challenging the life there was

We’ve waited for 30 mins in the line for tickets when the cashier closed the window for a break. We mainly wanted to get in for a picture in the spot where I had one taken with my dad almost 40 years ago. The shipman was very nice to let us in to do that. The destroyer seams in a great shape for how old it is

I have visited this place for years. I love the ship. Read the history around it before visiting. This will make your visit even better. The exibition is small and nice. It is a quick visit.

It's nice to see a well preserved piece of history. Well maintained, clean, looked after and well thought out. Signs and information in both Polish and English, taking time to explain the complicated history of this WW2 destroyer that also served as the Polish navy during Warsaw pact times. Tickets not cheap but well worth the investment and money well spent My only gripe is I would have liked to get a model of the ship but none of the local shops stocked anything other than a cheap Chinese tat one

A beautiful ship but unfortunately closed. Google said open. Website said closed from 1 November. Today is 24 October so a wasted visit.
