Small town with not a lot to see. Clearly not geared for having cruise ships stop in.

The excursions were limited. Last minute changes to disembark without an excursion. Te excursion did not allow us inter-mix with locals

We went to see the native indians and enjoyed having there raindeer soup etc. Other than that, nothing to see and it was cold, snow still on the ground

We fully anticipated the visa nightmare of previous visits. But we had no issues, Russian immigration is lengthy, but ship staff stated there were over 30 immigration officers on board, so the process worked quite well. Everybody was off the ship by around midday, all tours left on time. In truth there isn't a lot to see. You can walk to the square from the tendering point, but there is nothing there! (Apart from a statue of Lennin) the town is apparently 30km long but only two roads wide, to see anything at all you definitely need a tour! More of a port to say 'I've been there' than things to do. Some shops accept US dollars, although apparently it's illegal to use them as currency, but not all! Don't rely on being able to buy anything anywhere.

Sorry but a poor stop. We were wanting to go off independently but it was too late once our number had been called!! The Russian immigration took too long and many guests were frustrated. Also very rough for the tenders and a few had problems with very heavy seas. A long queue to get back and it was freezing.

not much to see in this port but everyone was friendly. Bring some roubles if you want to try some local food. Our cruise documents said we needed a visa to get off the ship but we were able to get off without it. They just let all the people on the tours off the ship first. The people doing their own walking tours were able to get off around noon.

We can now say we’ve been to Russia— thats about all good for unless you like Russian history and can read Russian. The market and Orthodox Church were interesting.

Spectacular scenery and some beautiful architecture. Contrasting areas of crumbling roads, paths and buildings in certain parts of town was an eye-opener.
